Random DIY mixing and More

[Katya]

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

Hah! Just what I needed!

Do you think I could use FA Vanilla Classic instead of Cap? I only use FA creams.

There is even a green tea ice cream, matcha aisu, a Japanese ice cream flavor.

Yup! Very popular here in laLa Land. Another great idea!

So sorry to hear that--are you feeling any better today, Charlie? Sure hope so.

Hi Kat..... thank you and yes I'm feeling ok this morning. Temp back down so so far so good.... we'll see what happens as the day progresses. Last time I toughed it out I was ok after a couple of days....I really hate taking antibiotics. They just mess up your immune system more

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

I don't have recipes, but I like my green teas with either honey (just a hint), fruit (pear, peach, apricot), or mint/menthol.

For the old timers--I got hooked on green teas thanks to Drew from NHaler and Deej. They made the best green tea e-liquids...

Wild (or Alpine) strawberry is nothing like a regular strawberry. We used to pick them (and bilberries, wild raspberries, blackberries, and rosehips) in the forest when we were kids. They are tiny (~1 cm long), rather sour, and even bitter when not quite ripe. The only way to eat them was to add sugar and whipped cream. I have no idea what they taste like as a flavoring, though.

Wild strawberries are divine. We used to pick them too. When ripe they're the best strawberry you can eat. There were hundreds in the Devon UK hedgerows....good times. INW wild strawberry is really authentic but not too tart but watch out with FLV alpine strawberry 1 drop in 15ml is all you need and it's still strong but excellent IMO. My 30ml bottle will last me years I should think.

Sending hugs and healing thoughts your way. ♥

Yup. When ripe and fragrant and still warm from the sun--they are divine. Good times indeed.

I added some FA Pear to my little mix. Went with a massive amount, 3 drops. The pear brightened up the green tea and I am tasting pear in it. It is tasty! Very nice, smooth.

So glad you like it. I always felt that FA Pear brings creaminess and much needed moisture to the otherwise dry teas.

He can already fetch and open doors. Next step--leash training.

How about a Green Tea Ice Cream ?

Totally!

 

[Katya]

Yes! Green tea ice cream is matcha aisu a Japanese ice cream flavor. I was thinking of adding some FA Kiwi to that. Earlier @YoursTruli posted a green tea recipe that had kiwi in it and that got me thinking about using it in the IC w/grn tea.

A favorite dessert at Asian restaurants

Not to mention green tea mochi balls.

My DIYVAPORSUPPLY has shipped so……..what do I do with the white tea?

Whatever you'd do with your green tea. The white tea is just more subtle and maybe a bit floral--but in a good way. The only tea I can vape as a single flavor.

 

[Katya]

Pineapple is just a hint. It’s not forward enough to immediately pick up on it. Peach….I think white peach. It’s a light, crisp peach… not a syrupy, ripe one. Vanilla is earthy, but that could be the green tea. It reminds me of the scent of a vanilla bean, not the taste of vanilla in ice cream or candy. The tea is floral … not flowery tasting like flower flavors, but in the sense that the fruit flavors rest behind, enhancing the tea, but never stepping out of the shadows to truly share the stage. You sense them more than get slapped in the face by them.
I just reread that, lol…. Best of luck figuring out what I mean

I know exactly what it means--and I agree.

Finally a subject I can discuss on this thread with some confidence.

Ahlusion made a Caramel Pear White Tea which was good. But, you don't do caramel

Our taste buds are so different. I loved Ahlusion teas--couldn't stand the caramel versions though. Way too sweet for me--black or white tea. Go figure.

Morning all....hope you had a good night

Temp down this morning. Went up to 38.3 °C yesterday but got it down with Doliprane (paracetamol). I've had so many antibiotics that I'm now determined to tough it out for a day or too before heading to the doc....damned suppressed immune system.

Not sure if I'll feel like mixing today but I want to. I need to try the croissant base and have a few new ideas too. One for a rice pudding meets custard one shot that @hittman likes. I've only got his description to go on so it should be fun. Have you got a link to the one shot Hitt??

And ... Morning @FranC

Have a good day everyone

You described it pretty well as to the sour/bitter taste. The first mix had a small amount of lime which was amplifying that.

My eldest came to dinner and brought a boyfriend.

My youngest dumped the boyfriend and bought a puppy. I like the puppy better.
