Random DIY mixing and More

Thanks for sharing! I have to admit, every time I see the words Nom Nomz I think of raiding the refrigerator.

I am hangry (anger derived from hunger) today so I am going to lay back from the forum. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday while I suffer...

I also hope everyone has a fried fish, cheese grits with collard greens... and banana pudding for dessert weekend.

Take care, vanilla shakes..

Be well Brother. I hope your day turns out to be better for you.

Thank you. That looks good. I just read MaxSavage's recipe notes on ATF. Do you still taste the green tea with the other flavors? If so, it's good to know FE green tea holds its own.

it comes through nicely. I wasn't sure about the whole kiwi thing but it enhances and also cuts the dryness aspect teas tends to have without taking away or imparting a kiwi flavor.

More good news from two days ago...I got the highest raise in our entire large group...CHA CHING......FINALLY!

Congrats!

RJ gets excellent raise, starts filling BCF cart with more amazing flavors.

Thanks J. I agree it's not a true dark choc but definitely reminds me of dark rather than milk. I'm using it at 1.5%. it's my first foray into the chocolate world so no experience.

I do like dark chocolate in real life but would probably add cream in a vape to make it more milky. Have you tried the VTA dark with FA milk?

In real life I prefer dark chocolates. No I haven't tried FA milk with it yet. However, I like your thinking.

Adding some FA milk to VT's dark chocolate along with 0.25% FLV Sweetness might bring about a milk chocolate flavor. I'm going to try that. Very curious.

Idea:
VT Dark Chocolate 2%
FA Milk 1%
FLV Sweetness 0.25%

I know you asked SMT but to my taste a lot better. Much less grassy/earthy/dirty with out the astringent/bitterness that TFA has. More a good correctly brewed green tea leaning toward matcha in flavor.

I have the FE on the way.

Sounds good to me. Thanks

I bought FE Green tea some time back to make this recipe after buying the FA Milk. Probably my favorite green tea recipe so far.

Green Tea Latte
1% (FE) Green Tea
2% (FA) Kiwi
1.25% (FA) Milk
3% (CAP) Vanilla Whipped Cream
Total flavoring: 7.25% Steep Days 3 (SNV)
Jade

Made a note of that.

Nope. Those are wild cards. I can’t recall which, but one was described as Cereal 27 minus AP. Hoping for a good bakery booster.

I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on both. I have a few cereal flavors. One I need to test is FA Breakfast Cereal. It's supposed to be pretty useful in a wide variety of bakery type recipes. HIC's notes say it is strong. "As little as 0.5% will influence a mix and the grain aspect gains some strength as it ages."

I'll definitely add it on the next mix. I'm bound to get this one right eventually although I'm liking the current mix I think it might be better with the sweetener. I forgot, how much did you use? I usually use super sweet if that's ok.

0.5 should do the trick.

Would love to know how the SSA green tea is too
Other teas I like so far we're OOO, black tea, white tea and milk tea and FLV lemon tea.

I will post something on the SSA green tea. Have the white tea coming from DIY vapor supply. I like the black tea and added the other ones to my list. Thanks.

Well, I wrote down all the green tea stuff. I have the FE Green coming along with a One Shot called Waterberry Breeze. I stuck the SSA Green on my BCF wishlist for a possible future purchase.

Dd and I and the young one went out to lunch after shopping today. We went to Longhorn and did spend some time waiting but the burger and fries we got were very good.

Green tea mixes never really caught on with me. Maybe I didn’t have one good enough or perhaps I just mixed too much flavor with it.

Recently I’ve been really enjoying a couple really low flavor recipes. I’ve been thinking it’s a good time to revisit green tea. In hopes the FE is better, I have it coming. If I have what I consider success with the FE then I will order the SSA.

Soooooo, where’s all the hot green tea recipes???? Or just ideas.

@hittman. We need puppy pics when you can get them.

So far just the possibilities I posted earlier. I want to try a few different fruits with green tea first. FA pear and then FA apricot. Those are light fruits I'm pretty confident will work well with green tea. When I do guava I'm going to start with 1 drop of SSA guava with 0.6% FE green tea (10mls) and hope it doesn't overpower the tea.
