Hmmm...trying to think of how to make an icecream base that isn't based around vanilla. Have a few ideas though, let me play with a couple things and I'll get back to you, might work for both the milkshake as well as the green tea ice cream.

Edit: My initial thought without mixing anything yet, my launching point would probably be something like:

• FLV Vanilla Custard @ 0.5-1% (a little custardy edge to the ice cream)
• TFA Vanilla Swirl @ 3-4% (a reasonable cream/ice cream type flavor without too much overwhelming vanilla)
• FA Fresh Cream @ 0.5-1.5%
• TFA Malted Milk or Dairy @ 0.1-1%
• 0.1-1% EM depending on the sweetness level you are going for (helps to add that sherbet/ice cream type of 'feel' IME)

I'm no expert on tea/herbal flavors but I have played with TFA Green Tea in the past. I definitely think I could make it work with these or perhaps some other hints/flavors used as additives (I don't have any other green tea flavors). The missing matcha flavor will definitely be the tough part and will require some more thinking and creativity. I'll take a look around a few smaller flavor vendors and see what I can find.

I have a friend who is dying to make this flavor. Any other suggestions for the green tea flavoring? I know I found green tea flavoring other than TFA but cant remember where now.

I'm going to try to work on some adjustments to the CK clone in the next week or two and will definitely make a variation including anise.

FA Anise is my go to anise flavor.

I've never had sedation or pluid though so I couldn't make a recommendation on a citrus to go with those without more information.

That looks like a good launching point but I'd probably forgo the TFA Vanilla Cupcake and use something more along the lines of FW Yellow Cake. If you check over on VU, I know HIC had a recipe for the trader joes cookie dough stuff. I wasn't a huge fan but IIRC it went something like:

• 1.25% FA Caramel
• 1% FA Vienna Cream
• 0.75% FA Cinnamon Ceylon
• 0.5% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine
• 0.25% TFA Brown Sugar Extra
• 0.25% TFA Holiday Spice
• 0.25% FA Clove
• 0.25% NF Organic Ginger
• 0.25% FA Vanilla Classic
• 0.25% FA Marzipan
• 0.25% FA Butterscotch

The clove and ginger made it seem off to me, the high use of AP worked surprisingly well but I think it could be halved, outside of that it was...interesting to say the least.

Somewhat related (I think) but I'd love a mochi flavor. I've tried a few commercial juices but they usually have Bavarian Cream for some reason. :(

Looking for either a sticky rice or mochi flavor. Ultimately want a Daifuku or Dango recipe.

Look around for Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipes. There are a few floating around the web that are very very good.

caramel seems underexplored/neglected, and candy bars seem like a logical step/jump from cereals

I avoid most cherry flavors like the plague. A few Black Cherries are an exception but for the most part I just taste cough syrup regardless of percentage with all artificial cherry flavors. I don't even like Cherry Italian Ice straight out of the freezer due to that reminder though so maybe I just don't like fake cherry...Real cherries are the bomb though...

Blue Raspberry Slurpee

Credit goes to /u/Raiden395 as this was the top voted recipe from the July 2014 recipe thread:

• 6% TFA Blueberry Wild
• 6% TFA Gummy Candy
• 4% TFA Citrus Punch
• 2% TFA Juicy Peach
• 1% TFA Pomegranate
• 0.5% TFA Sour
• 1% EM or TFA Cotton Candy

Inspired by /u/Raiden395's Blue Raspberry Slurpee

Use:

• 1% FA Vienna Cream
• 1% FA Fresh Cream
• 0.5% TFA Sour (Malic Acid)
• 1% EM or TFA Cotton Candy
• 2% FA or TFA Black Cherry (FLV's would likely work as well)
• 1% FA Citrus Punch or FA Citrus Mix
• 2% TFA Gummy Candy

• 6% FW Yellow Cake
• 6% FA Lemon Sicily (the spiciness in this should really really help compared to FE's...I don't see FE working too well here).
• 1-1.5% FA Custard
• 2% LA Cream Cheese Icing

At least that's where I'd start =)

I'm still new to the diy scene, but bottles are everywhere haha. So much fun. What about something like FE Lemon (or FA lemon sicily) and either TFA or CAP Vanilla Cupcake? CAP Cake batter and some TFA brown sugar. I've read that diy flavorshack has a a good pound cake flavor, never tried their stuff though.

> blackberry apple upside down cake

I'd start with some of the better Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipes that are floating around and just sub in FA Blackberry and FA Fuji Apple (my preference), but this one should be relatively straight forward.

> praline caramel bread (or pumpkin pecan caramel bread pudding)

This is a bit out of my league in a sense as I haven't really played with praline or bread flavors too much. I can tell you, despite all the hate for FA Bread Crust that this stuff is phenomenal, you just have to use it at EXTREMELY low levels. Typically, diluted to 10%, then used at 0.1-0.3% in a recipe.

> strawberry buttermilk sherbet

My launching point would be my rainbow sherbet recipe but sub out the fruit. Here's where I would start:

• 2.3% FA Vienna Cream
• 0.7% FA Custard
• 1.0% Citric Acid (10%)
• 2.0% Sweetener or could try EM instead
• 1.0% TFA Butter (believe this contains diacetly, if they are even still offering it), may also want to add a little bit of FA Fresh Cream if necessary
• Add your favorite combination of strawberry to get the flavor how you want it

> peach & toasted almond ice cream

Start with your favorite ice cream base, add FA Almond (2%) and TFA Brown Sugar (0.5-2% based on your preference for toastedness), maybe a hint of FA Caramel, then add your favorite peach (I'd use FLV to start @ 2-3% and expand on it if necessary).

> banana cake w/ coconut cream cheese icing

• 4% FW Yellow Cake
• 4% LA Banana Cream
• 1% FLV Coconut
• 2-3% LA Cream Cheese Icing

Pretty straight forward with this one. At least that'd be my launching point.

Good ideas all around.

I haven't played with FA Fig enough to make any solid recommendations here yet but that's the flavor I'd start with for the fig. Here's a rough idea of where I'd start so you can compare it to where you are at (concept based off the recipe you provided/linked).

• 2-3% FA Fig
• 0.5% FA Maple
• 2% TFA Whipped Cream
• 0.5% FA Fresh Cream
• 2% FA Custard
• 0.5% FA Brandy
• Nut of your choice for garnish =)

Edit: FA Fig isn't too sweet so I'd probably be looking to add a sweetener here, either sucralose (TFA Sweetener) or EM could likely do the trick as long as you use it at the right percentage.

Already done. I have a Banana Cream with Mango and Jackfruit that works quite well. It's for sale under the 'More Juice' category of my website and is reasonably popular. The recipe is below:

• 7% TFA Strawberry
• 2% Citric Acid (10%)
• 6% TFA Banana Cream
• 1% TFA Jackfruit
• 1% FA Mango
• 0.7% HS Banana
• 1% FA Fresh Cream

HIC has posted a number of torte recipes on VU and they are all very good

Not going to replicate it enough. I'm still struggling to replicate the taste of Juicy Pear jelly belly's.

Ewww.

Damn that sounds delicious. Makes me want to try:

• Pistachio ???
• 1.5% FA Meringue
• 4% TFA Plum
• 2% TFA Toasted Marshmallow

Unfortunately, I don't have any Pistachio ;-(

I tried something similar to this just recently.

• 2.5% FLV Vanilla Custard
• 0.5% FLV Creme de Menthe
• 2.0% FLV Orange Citrus

Honestly, I wasn't very impressed with my mix, the balance seemed to be there, but the combination of custard, mint and citrus (orange) didn't really work for my tastebuds. I understand it's counter-intuitive based on toothpaste/orange juice but also understand it's supposed to be a great combination, just not my thing.

I would most likely start with a combination of:

• 7% CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl
• 2% FA Caramel
• 2% FA Butterscotch
• Something pecan...not sure who has the best pecan flavor out there, add some extra sweetner via brown sugar if needed for that bakedness as well.

Hmmm. I've never had strawberry nesquick, is it chocolate + strawberry or just strawberry?

My starting point would be with FA Vienna Cream, FA Fresh Cream, Strawberry that most closely matches (no idea personally) and likely FA Cocoa for the chocolate if there is any. Shouldn't be much more complicated than that.

Hmmmm....

I tried playing around with a peanut butter raspberry custard but that was a little awkward to taste. It's still on my list to develop an 'Ants on a Log' flavor (peanut butter, banana, raisin).

I've always liked peanut butter graham crackers with a little cinnamon. Maybe some Peanut Butter Apples as well.

Is there a decent celery flavor out there? Maybe peanut butter cucumber (this could actually be delicious now that I think about it)

My 4 year old niece likes peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches. Eww.

In boot camp I was introduced to putting peanut butter on vanilla ice cream. Good stuff.
