Do you guys ever use your mixes for food?

submitted almost 11 years ago by project_twenty5oh1Mixologist

My wife is doing a science lesson where she's having the kids make ice cream in a bag (http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/edible-innovations/ice-cream3.htm) and she's using seaweed to bind it up (not included in that recipe but it was awesome! tasted like green tea vanilla ice cream.)

Anyway, it got me thinking about adding some of my mixes or flavorings to it to make crazy flavored ice creams, i mean at a bare minimum I'm gonna try it with peanut butter.

Any of you guys use your diy flavorings in actual foods, and if so do you have any cool recipes?

Not exactly food, but my wife and I have discovered that a 65VG/35PG ratio with around 5-10% flavoring makes for great lube.

You tried it with menthol yet?

I received my first batch of menthol crystals about a month ago and it never occurred to me what a wonderful idea this is. Thank you!

Sometimes, sure. TFA Bavarian Cream is awesome in pancake mix. It makes them taste like donuts.

FA Bergamot is awesome in tea; just squeeze in a drop or two.

Any of the flavorings are good in plain seltzer water.

I haven't used any in food yet.

As do some of mine (SCE).

Only thing I have made so far is watermelon flavored hard candies, because LA's watermelon has food coloring, so I declined to use it for e-liquid. Great watermelon flavor, shame about the color. About 8ml for 1 lb of sugar in the candies.

Also, similar to /u/davidk48, I use FA peppermint or FW caramel candy in coffee. The FW caramel candy is spectacular in coffee. The peppermint lends more of an aromatic quality than a gustatory one.

Tyvm. I knew they made a colorless version, but could never find it short of bulk sizes.

I use flavorings in coffee when I'm out of creamer and it works great. That's actually what Capella's products were intended for (I think), adding flavor to beverages. I've never tried ice cream but that sounds like a great idea.

Also Capella's web site has a short list of user submitted recipes for food and drinks here. The yogurt sounds really interesting and I'll probably try that in the future.

My dad makes yogurts from cultures and I was thinking about doing the same with those. Thanks for the link!

Np. I've never heard of someone making yogurt from scratch. I think I would love that.

It's actually really good, you order packets with culture and just add water.

What is your ratio when you add flavor to your coffee?

2 points

by davidk48almost 11 years ago

5-10 drops in a cup but I'm sure you could use more.

I use the flavorings for water. I drink at least a gallon of water/day and a couple of my recipe are excellent to spice things up a bit.

I've thought about something like Maraschino Cherry in my Makers and Coke. Haven't tried it yet.
