tfa horchatta.... opinions?

[ames001]

so i added 4.5% horchatta on top of my ice cream base (4% em/7% van bean gelato/5% bav cream)
aside from already knowing that i need to jump the horchatta down to 3.8%.... its missing the thick creaminess that the same base gives to fruit flavors.
it is also dry, but i was already expecting that from the horchatta.

anyone have any ideas?

I have not worked with TFA Horchata. But, a quick peek on ATF, and ELR, I see:

The majority of notes all identify this as a very strong flavor. I am guessing that you are using too much and simply overwhelming your ice cream base. I would be more inclined to start at 2-2.5% and increase only if needed.

I have the TFA Smooth version but I haven’t tried mixing with it yet,I’ve used Capella’s but that too needs lower percentages in my opinion or I find it becomes harsh and not very creamy. I am thinking of adding a little bit of the TFA Smooth Horchata to a rice pudding concentrate I have.
