What to do with my "difficult" flavors....?

[michaelsil1]

Thank you glasseye for leading me to this recipe and for sharing your modification/upgrade. I am getting ready to use it to make my very first multi-flavor mix.

I am wondering if the recipe might benefit from a flavor enhancer. I have the usual suspects (koolada, smooth, lemon juice, vape wizard...)

Feedback from you and/or the other experienced mixologists is greatly appreciated/anticipated. I'm set up and ready!

edit- did I hijack? I can be a rude girl when excited.

Just kidding.


I would try the original recipe first then tweak it.

LOL! Experienced mixologist? Not me! I'm just goofing around. Uno Mas does come up with some very good ones! I only tweaked it because of the original cinnamon, or lack and dislike thereof, but I didn't add any enhancers. Like Michael said, try it first and then see. And good luck on your first multi flavor mix!!!

Alrighty then. I'm going in!

Oh my dear, this thread went way into left field a long time ago lol. I know all about honeysuckle and brown sugar and lots of other things, but still not what to do with some of my juicez......so as the OP, I'd say you're just fine it's always nice to get some good info! Hope the juice turns out wonderfully!

Can you list the challenging flavors again.

Green Tea- tastes like a flower, even after steeping

cinnamon roll- tastes like...I don't even know

Hypnotica- (which is NOT hypnotic mist...read it wrong when buying)

Horchata-...again...I don't know

vanilla butternut- I'm going to be honest here, I have only added it to one mix, and the mix was horrible, so now I am afraid of it lol

What percentage did you mix the TFA Green Tea at?

 

[1LastShot]

What percentage did you mix the TFA Green Tea at?

I tried the green tea solo at 10%, then I tried adding it to a premade pear juice at about 5%, maybe a bit higher

On the horchata, I have already decided I am going to try it with banana, and maybe a mix with peach when I can get some more, as well as making the peachy glee when I get both peach and honeysuckle, so in reality I think I am good on it. Unfortunately I only have ripe banana right now, and just a hair too much will make my tongue numb! Works great in Jello monkey though, so oh well.

I've seen recipes with the TFA Green Tea @ 10% and they also said you can substitute TFA Black Tea at the same percentage. I tried TFA Black Tea @ 5% and it is Horrible!! I just contacted TFA and she said I suggest you go lower.

TFA Green Tea is probably the same try it @ 1-3%

Thank you- I'll try that

With TFA Pear since you wondering what you can do with Pear

Well that's one I have to order next time I get to order some flavors- the pear I mixed it with was a vendor juice. Maybe I could try it with the vendor pear juice I still have, but at 1 or 2% since 5% was too much.

Try it @ 2%

You could add some Peach (Juicy)

Please let me know how the TFA Green Tea works out I don't want to buy it if it sucks.

I still don't have any peach, but just saw the recipe on that tea thread and I will make it tonight and get back here with updates as steeping goes on. It doesn't call for TFA but I have all those flavors in TFA so we'll see.

If you are really wanting a green tea vape and TFA ends up not doing it for you, go for the VZ SC green tea. Its excellent mixed with a variety of fruits. One of my favorites now that the weather is getting warmer,

Ok so I didn't end up juice-making last night since we ended up playing flashlight tag with the kids until reaaaaaaaaally late. I'll try again tonight lol
