I've had the SSA Ice Creams on my list for awhile. So do you combine the LB with the SSA and TFA to make your base? I kind of avoided getting TFA because of some reports that it could be a bit peppery.
I have not tried that, but it sounds like it may be a good idea. I have not made any ice cream bases other than Nick Evan's (Nevans) version.
You are correct, a lot of people get "peppery" from VBIC tfa and CAP versions. Luckily, I don't even at high percentages.
