I use flv dutch chocolate in coffee, 2 drops per cup is ok. Fa vanilla 2 drops per cup for coffee. Never used anything in tea. I use a lot in cold alcoholic beverages because I'm in love with alcohol. Fa almond and fa vanilla in bourbon is good. 1 drop per 1.5oz pour. Cap French vanilla in coke makes a PERFECT vanilla coke clone at two drops per 12oz.

Edit: if you bake by weight (which you should) then follow usage recommendations percentage just like with mixing juice but I'd recommend halving it to start

sounds cool. I like the idea of tweaking a bourbon. Might try a few drops in coffee.

Honestly you're better off buying vanilla beans and crushed raw almonds and letting that "steep" in your bourbon bottle for a week. A bar near me sells that for eight bucks a shot.

We use some LA flavors at the restaurant for different pastries / deserts.

For fruits: A) buy a soda stream B) enjoy.

I've also made basic candy with some of my flavorings.

I'm a big fan of TFA malted milk in a batch of waffles. I use about an ounce per double batch of batter. Kids freak out over it!

Yes. Depends on the concentrate & volume of liquid. 2-8 drops for me, up to 40oz.

Are you snazzing up your malt liquor?

8 drops of TFA Kentucky Bourbon per oz of Old English 800 gives the brew that expensive barrel aged taste.

Edit: To those who don't know, I'm totally kidding. Don't do that.

But OE's are so nasty. I guess that's why you add kentucky bourbon.

Wait 8 times 40 is 320 drops 0.o

Honestly.

I've found AB Hurricane a tolerable drink with a great kick. Perhaps a little TFA Kentucky Bourbon will spice it up? After the 2nd one, I wouldn't even care. ;)

2-4 drops in a glass of ice water. Much more gets really weird and near unpalatable.

Try cap cucumber, lime tahiti cold, and citric acid.

I used INW raspberry in a cream cheese frosting for cupcakes and it was pretty bomb. Also use a variety of flavors in my vodka soda's for added flavor with no extra calories...

I used TFA flavoring in baking and buttercream. The smell was amazing. I think I used 3ml for a double batch of buttercream.

how did you make it out of interest? rough gist will do :)

Forgive me, I'm not advertising I swear, but we have cady making supplies at Gremlin DIY

With one of the mixes or a mix kit, it really is as easy as boiling water. And as /u/Chuzzle mentioned, you really don't need any of it, (molds or mixes) just pour it into a pan and break it. I like to dust the pieces with powdered sugar to keep them from sticking together when you put them into a bowl to eat.

I wonder, coz I like to be healthy and not use regular sugar, if you made gummies, is that less reliant on actual sugar? and perhaps a sweetener could be used instead? or do gummie candies also require the caramelization process?

Oh the powdered sugar is a good idea! I'll have to remember that if we ever do it again. It's really quite beautiful.

Here's some pics of what we made. Little bit of food coloring for the color. https://flic.kr/s/aHskDDAwau

(This is how I do it...) Sugar + corn syrup +water+flavor, bring to boil & bring up to temp needed for type of candy. For gummy candies, some gelatin is necessary & a much lower target temp

basically like that

we don't have a hot table or anything fancy, we just poured it onto a pan to cool and then smash the hardened candy into like little shards.

I have FLV Rich Cinnamon on my desk at work. Two drops in my coffee. Perfection! :)

Tried it with waffles and pancakes. All of the flavor just gets lost. Or maybe I just wasn't using enough, but I went with a few good squirts in some batter of blueberry wild and couldn't taste it at all after the pancakes were cooked.

FLV Lemongrass does work if you're out of curry paste, just a few drops in a whole crock pot though.

TFA Lucky Leprechaun in my Rolling Rock. It's uh... an acquired taste.

I add double chocolate clear or strawberry ripe to cream cheese frosting I make. 5ml to a pint usually. Haven't thought to try it with my coffee yet.
