The art of cereal flavors how to get the texture/mouthfeel of milky cereal

submitted almost 10 years ago by TechnicolorRainbows

I've been trying to mix up cereal flavors as of recently and have had a few good turnouts. Recently I've gotten Berry Crunch and Fruit Circles (TFA) and have had zero good results minus a Berry Crunch + Marshmallow mix that made it taste like Lucky Charms. I've recently lost that recipe but I've been wondering how to create this art form. I also noticed Fruit Circles taste really lemon-ish when I use it and that discourages me.

I want to figure out the ratios, the percentages, the downfalls of the flavors and more.

I've had a really amazing Cap'n Crunch flavor once from a wholesaler in Arkansas (my area) called Jaberwocky by Alice in Dripland. I've yet to come close with the milky type flavor that gave me.

Help my friends!

Mix the following creams at the following ratio and steep for a week to achieve "milk"

35% FA Fresh Cream
25% TFA Sweet Cream
20% TFA Bavarian Cream
20% TFA Marshmallow

use the following cream mixture somewhere between 5-7% overall.

.35*5 = 1.75%

so just use fresh cream @ 1.5% & let steep for 3 days for milk.

Fresh cream is the closest thing to milk IMO, anything else is just adulterating it's beautiful milkiness. Like the buttload of cyclotene/maple & EM in bavarian cream.

i suppose you are right about the pure-ness of the flavor, but i do personally find it to be slightly lackluster mixed by itself and it doesnt scale well past 2.5%, just like sweet cream. But then you mix it all together and... its pretty awesome.

EDIT: A word

you don't or do find it slightly lackluster by itself?

I agree about it not scaling well past 2%, plus it requires more steeping time to hit that milkiness.

Sometimes I'll add .5% fa marshmallow & .2% - .5% vienna cream although lately i've just been using .2% when I do that.

I've found FA Meringue at low amounts a good enhancer for milk without detracting much from the authenticity.

As well as some ice cream based flavors, and creams to make it sweeter and bolster the body. MF Vanilla works really well to make it sweeter and creamier for example.

But I do agree that FA Fresh Cream is probably the closest match. I've also taken a liking to CAP's Sweet Cream in some recipes as part of the milkstone.

I've been using meringue at .3% in my latest recipe, natural crunchberries, actually. 1.1% cream base total between it, Vienna or fresh cream, & FA custard. 1.3% cream base if you count the .2% Holy Vanilla I'm using for extra creaminess/sweetness, haha

To me, /u/enyawreklaw's Cereal Milks really does taste spot-on to the milk left over after a bowl of cereal.

Not something I like to vape on it's own, but I could definitely see it being a great milky base for cereal vapes.

found that using other fruit flavors can help boost the background fruit to hide the lemons. I made a fruity pebbles type mix and added a little bit of cantaloupe and even less plum and I have quite the unique serial now

your a serial killer now munchidk. lol, jk. anyway, I've had fun playing with FA condensed milk with cereal (its very strong, so be light, like 1 drop per 10 ml (0.02 grams per 10ml)). about the lemon, the only way i know of to get away from the lemon in TFA is to add more cereal components (like fruit). also, a dash of hazelnut adds more cereal grains to the mix but take all this with a grain o salt, im a noob =)

@/u/munchidk Care to share the recipe? I have been researching Fruity Pebbles and the best premix I have found out of 30 or 40 retailers is called Slurp by JUS.

Have you ever tried any red currants and pomegranates in your mix? I like Bergamot, but it hasn't been working well with me.

>FW Fruity Flakes

I had been ordering from BullCityVapor so I didn't know it existed. Can you give me a profile description of it "FW Fruity Flakes"?

Is it more of a Tangerine/BlackCurrant(grape)/Pomegranate/Cherry ?

Is it more like a Vanilla/Orange/Raspberry-Blackberry/Pineapple ?

Or is it just a Overkill Pledge Lemon TFA Fruit Circles?

Have you ever tasted Slurp by JUS sold by Indy E Cigs?

1-2% Acai and 2% strawberry TFA while keeping fruit circles at a fucking whopping 5% in my recipes and it still fucking wipes away all the lemon. It's amazing.

Try Slurp by JUS at Indy E Cig and you will wish you will never touch that TFA Fruit Circles flavor.

Have been trying to figure out what is in this juice for some time. Ten times better then Bird Brains by Cutwood in my opinion. No Lemon that I can detect unless they have added very little.
