    Hitt, are you sure about your strawberry croissant mix? I just tested mine and the berry isn’t lost at all. I wanted to make sure in case I needed to adjust it before I leave town, and have time for it to settle in. @FranC , did you post more than one version by any chance?
    Only one version I believe:)

    IDK. Do you have any problem tasting strawberry?

    Not that I know of. I’ve been using the strawberry biscuit recipe and taste it ok. With the croissant recipe I taste mostly the croissant and not much else.

    Morning, mixers :)

    Cool (hey, it's relative, 35 isn't cold ;) ) and wet, with snow in the mountains where it belongs.

    Did you sample single flavor test your strawberry? To see if you can taste it. Some people can’t taste certain ones

    I was getting ready to make a flavoring order and at the back of the box I found an unopened bottle of NN Banana Cream that I didn't know I had. I used them when I first started making my own juice. Made it easy just having one ingredient. It must be close to 5 years old.

    Checked my old records and I made that one at 5% so I mixed up a small bottle of it. Surprisingly it didn't seem to have gone off but the flavor was overpowering strong. I guess over the years I made juice with less and less flavoring. When I started I was around 20% flavoring but now it's 5% to 10%.

    I had the same experience with shop juice a few months ago. Someone gave me half a bottle of some blueberry flavored juice and it blew my head off. When you first quit smoking you need a mighty blast of flavor to activate your taste buds.

    I want to add a little raspberry to a custard I've been playing around with.
    Any suggestions for a good, natural raspberry concentrate?

    There are a few good ones. I like tfa raspberry

    I think that was directed at me. The recipe used 1.5% cap sweet strawberry. I usually combine strawberry flavors so may try it again using two strawberry flavors for a total of 3%. Also there is huckleberry in it which I’ve never done an sft on so that might be throwing the flavor off for me.

    You may have hit on the answer, as I forgot I subbed :oops:. I don’t have huckleberry, so I used blueberry. But, I taste strawberry in the juice.

    Well the Stixx did a good job with the tea. Blueberry isn’t my best flavor to taste which is why I mix it with bilberry. The Stixx has an acceptable taste of blueberry. Really need to get the strawberry mixed. Bet that’s ev3n better
