Random DIY mixing and More

Is it tart or no?

Not particularly. It's quite bland, really. And I don't pick up any strawberry at all.

 

[Zazie]

Over flavored. Try putting a small amt in a smaller bottle and add pg vg and nic. Should do the trick.
@Zazie
Would also like to say that not all strawberries mix well together. Some do cancel each other out. Found that out while trying to combine some myself a while back.

Good idea. I'll give it a try. I don't know what possessed me to mix it, really. I should stick to following recipes till I know what I'm doing.

I can’t believe how much the licorice torpedo tastes like the candy. And that’s snv. I didn’t steep at all.

The only way to learn is by doing - so keep creating mixes

When I mixed last, I haphazardly threw together this recipe on the fly, aiming for a Rhubarb-Strawberry cheesecake, heavy on the rhubarb:

1% WF Sweet and Sour Rhubarb
3% VTA Rhubarb Compote
1% INW Shisha Strawberry
1% TFA Strawberry Ripe
1% FA Juicy Strawberry
Top off with Fran's Cheesecake #2.

I'd just drop maybe two of the strawberries. Rhubarb is your main flavour, strawberry as an accent and the cheesecake as your base. Try it and see if it makes any difference.

Or I could just make @FranC's Strawberry Rhubarb Cheesecake.

Nothing wrong with jumping in with both feet. You can learn a lot doing that

I take it you like it

I know we all taste things differently but I really like that recipe. It would at least tell you if you like the Rhubarb flavor.

I'd try diluting it like what was already suggested by @Sugar_and_Spice. It's worth a try so you don't waste it all. I'd just fill a small bottle halfway. Then top it off with your pg/vg/nic base. Worth a shot.

Good morning all you random folks Have you any mixing / organizing plans?

 

[hittman]

I take it you like it

My first reaction is yes. I might have mixed it a little strong this first time. I need to try it more.

Well, that's a big plus. It's easy to dilute it a bit if need be.

Wouldn't it be funny if you like it

Good luck. I didn't think it was terrible but not a stand alone flavor for me. It might be better in a recipe. The couple that I've seen so far have used it at pretty low percentages.

I use it in my Apple Strudel & it works pretty well, but it's kind of weak for me as a stand alone.

Do you taste the anise when it's mixed in a recipe?

 

[stols001]

Nona's sounds like it is comprised of things I absolutely hate: anise, licorice etc. I'm never trying it. LOL.

I still have my tiny taster of Joy if anyone feels their tastebuds need a good torturing.

Are you still working or did ya just take time off?

Not at all, but it's at 2% & there's a lot of other stuff going on in that recipe, too.
