Vanilla Horchata

submitted over 9 years ago by Jakeycarey

Hello, I've been working on a flavorful Vanilla Horchata flavor for some time now, and I've finally gotten it to a point where I really enjoy it but I think it could still be improved.

My recipe is..

7% Horchata (TFA) 3% Vanilla Custard v1 (CAP) 2% Vanilla Bourbon (Madigascar vanilla) (FA) 1.5% Fresh Cream (FA) 1% Malted Milk (TFA) .5% Ethyl Maltol 3 drops of Joy per 15ml

The inhale is a sweet creamy vanilla taste, and it certainly (to me) tastes like a vanilla rice milk with some cinnamon spice notes on the exhale.

I like the way the Vanilla Custard/Madigascar vanilla play off of eachother and the fresh cream and malted milk give it a smoother feeling comparable to real dairy.

If anyone has any constructive criticism please lay it on me. This is my first recipe posted here so please go easy. :)

I've made Horchata recipes that use TFA Horchata at 1%. 7% should melt faces.

I started off with around 4% horchata and it seemed like it wasnt enough so I upped it. The vanilla flavors and the malted milk help cover up some of the strength of the horchata while adding a good amount of vanilla sweetness.

Well I think you're out of your mind. But I bet you could throw some coconut extra in there at 7% and get that improvement you're looking for.

LOL. I'm with ya here. TFA Horchata is some serious trash. I actually called the distributor to make sure they didn't mix up cinnamon red hot and Horchata on their end. CAP Horchata is honestly the only one (I've found) worth looking at- and even then i don't have it over 5% in ANY Horchata or Horchata-esque recipe.

edit: 10% TFA honey might help smooth it out.

This looks good and I'll mix it up this weekend. I'll report back in a couple of weeks after a decent steep.

What is everyone's thoughts on Joy? I've never used it but hear about it all the time. Is it some secret enhancer for fruits the same way AP is to bakery/tobacco flavors? What's the deal?

Joy does one of two things. (Usually not both)

Brings out a baked, almost yeasty feel to anything cake/bready/biscuity.
Brings out sugary feel, a bit like powdered sugar or a sugar glaze. Think funnel cake.

AP is mostly used for a nutty base note.

I love Joy, I use it mostly at 1-2%. It's a fantastic flavor to have on hand for any patissier. I second what /u/insigmatheory said.

With Meringue it turns my cookies into Donuts, with Cheesecake or creams it turns them into pastries. Beautiful flavor. Also does well when paired 2 to 1 with INW Biscuit.

I tend to use Biscuit 2:1 Joy. Have I been doing it wrong?

Not available AFAIK. I can almost promise it uses CAP Horchata though.

How important is Malted Milk to this recipe? I have everything else and I've been waiting for a long time to use Horchata.

1 points

by Jakeycareyover 9 years ago

It's not essential, however i definitely prefer it, adds another fine layer of milkiness to it. If you omit it, i'd drop the flavor % of the vanilla custard slightly.

Okay, I'll try that when I get home. I searched and I found Dairy/Milk TFA, do you think that may work in this recipe? I'm going to give it a shot, just asking for some general usage tips, if you know any.

It very well may! I don't own this flavor so I haven't gotten to see how it plays in with things.

I put Malted Milk with Hochata Smooth.. I only add about 1 drop per 15ml.

I mixed just added 1 drop of Malted Milk into base mix and a few days later it tasted like boiled sweetened milk and it turn into orangey pink.

Not for fruits. Bakery, desserts, & tobaccos. Use it where you would think of grabbing AP. Sour is the enhancer for fruits.

by Orwelian84over 9 years agoPâtissier

While sour is an enhancer for Fruits, Joy does pair well with many fruits. Most notably as the base for any "crumble" recipe. At least for me I wasn't able to get my crumbles right until I started using joy. ymmv though, taste being subjective and all.

Also, at this might just be me, but I feel like Joy pairs uniquely well with peach flavors. 1-2% Joy with 4-6% VBIC and 5-8% of your preferred peach base makes a fantastic Peach Fried Ice-cream flavor.

agreed, but that is stepping away from a straight fruit mix. you start towards a crumble or cobbler variant, you're firmly into bakery territory. which is delicious, but i still don't think of joy as a direct enhancer for the fruit flavor portion of the recipe, but as the secret ingredient to get the right bakery notes to layer into the flavors.

Thanks. What does it do compared to AP?

AP is nutty/bready whereas Joy has that, plus a buttery/fried aspect.

Is this definitely TFA Horchata and not TFA Horchata Smooth? It seems like a lot of TFA Horchata.

1 points

by Daheavybover 9 years ago

For me, even horchata smooth TFA is a lot over 2%.

I have not tried this flavor yet, do you think it should be used for a realer horchata flavor? In terms of mouthfeel?

Horchata Smooth blows regular Horchata out of the water IMO.

To me TFA Horchata is really strong already overpowers my recipe attempts at half that amount.

Holy crap! I use 0.5% TFA Horchata in my Strawberry Horchata recipe and you can still easily taste it. 7% would destroy me.

I been doing a lot of Horchata Smooth @ 10% . I like smooth because I don't taste the nutmeg like flavor in there.

Hey bud. I definitely won't be mixing this with that much TFA horchata. To it'd probably taste like straight fireball candy and harsh. I'll probably sub CAP for TFA. I would definitely recommend CAP Horchata though. That stuff is velvety smooth, and probably the main ingredient in BX's horchatatas, If you've tried that. Here's my horchata-ish recipe:

CAP Horchata 8%

CAP Vanilla Custard 2%

CAP Buttercream .5%

CAP Marshmallow 1%

CAP Sugar cookie 1.5%

FA Cookie .25%
