Story
Being Asian and all, I grew up eating a lot of weird and delicious shit. One of the things I always loved and adored was ice cream coated in tempura batter and then deep fried. The funny thing was, you could only purchase this at places that served Chinese cuisine. You couldn't get it at a mall, you couldn't find it at a carnival booth, only Chinese restaurants which served sweet and sour pork and shark fin soup, and other Chinese delicacies. This is the catalyst which inspired the recipe you now see below.
Recipe
Ingredient|% :---|---: TFA Green Tea|3.5% FW Vanilla Bean Ice Cream|4% INW Biscuit|0.75% CAP Sugar Cookie|5% FA Joy|1.75% FA Meringue|1% Flavor total: 16%
Steep time: 5 - 7 days.
Ice cream - TFA Green Tea is one of the best green tea flavorings out there. I know FA has one but it tastes way too earthy and authentic to do anything with it. TFA's version has that commercial macha taste you get in ice creams. I added FW Vanilla Bean Ice Cream to give it some body. You could probably get away with TFA's version (if you don't taste pepper) or CAP's version (which I have personally tried, too). I just like FW's version myself cause it's a tad sweeter.
Fried dough - This part took a bit of research and dilligence on my end. I knew it's really tough to replicate the fried aspect into a bottle of ejuice. Most commercial juices I've tried that spouted such claims have only disappointed me. I have to admit that this recipe still fails at locking down the fried dough aspect. However, it does give you the impression of fried dough, which is the next best thing.
I used CAP Sugar Cookie for its inherent doughiness, INW Biscuit to bring out the flaky, crispy properties, and FA Joy to impart a fried taste to it. FA Meringue acts as the powdered sugar on top of the fried ice cream, and also serves to sweeten the vape up. Of course, I can't take full credit for this discovery. Botboy's elephant ears recipe, which I stumbled upon by happenstance played a pivotal role in helping me lock down the percentages.
Conclusion - And there you have it. A delicate green tea ice cream juxtaposed with a crispy, fried batter. I've personally vaped this and nothing but this for a week straight! It's great as a shake and vape, but steeping is mandatory if you want the green tea, sugar cookie and joy notes to come out.
Holy shit, I can finally use my green tea!

I've been away from mixing for the last few months, due to moving, and lack of motivation. I just mixed this up a bit ago and it's quite tasty. Probably the most unique vape I've ever had. I'm really hoping the Joy shines a little more as it steeps though. Excellent work, man!
Just mixed this up with TFA VBIC and it's very tasty! Can't wait to see how it steeps out.
Awesome, just what I wanted to hear. Thanks so much.
I may have to make a second bottle to set aside because I'm not sure if this one is going to last long enough to steep. :D
Love using TFA Green Tea, so I'll whip this up in the morning! Thanks.
Thanks, hope you like it
Havn't made a juice in a few weeks and decided to look for a recipe that I could make on /r/DIY_eJuice with ingredients I had. I've had TFA Green Tea for so long and never found a mix I liked it in, but after making this one I am in love. Reminds me of Green Tea Kit Kats!
Ok now I gotta order the green tea. There is a sushi restaurant here that has green tea ice cream. It's not fried but that version sounds amazing. recipe sounds great
If you love green tea, TFA's version is probably the best one out there. Well to be fair, it's the only one. No other company has done anything as awesome, unless you count Duomei or one of the China manufacturers.
Have you tried FE green tea from ecigexpress? it tastes like a perfectly brewed cup of loose leaf green tea. I can't get over how good it is in comparison to FA. FA tastes like burnt schwil where someone just threw shitty tea bags in a pot and left it boiling for an hour.
I've been thinking about ordering some green tea to mess around with. Now you have cemented that decision for me. This sounds amazing.

Not often I can mix a posted recipe with out some sort of substitution, this being one of the few. Also I am a sucker for a good binge of tfa green tea here and there , so I mixed 90 ml.
This is a wonderfully balanced vape, although I admittedly dug into this a bit early. Really, it's only just hit the minimum suggested steep today, but none the less has been delicious. For me the 5 day mark allows the joy to settle from that yeasty sort of Ka-pow, to the loving caress of a deep fryer. Thanks and well done on this unique recipe. I'll be remixing my 90 ml, later today, to let it age a full week.
Mixed this up last weekend, didn't like it at first taste, but after a few days of steeping this one is a banger. ADV green tea tasty goodness baby!
Even my girlfriend likes it, and she normally says "it tastes like all of the others" to everything she tries.
Well done, thanks for justifying my purchase of TFA Green Tea!
Thanks for the great recipe - I just mixed this up and am going to give it a full 2 weeks before digging in. I also have some FE green tea so I think I am going to mix up a batch with that also so I can compare the two.
which green tea worked out better?
I actually liked the tfa better, which surprised me with all of the hype on the fe. Also of note - I much prefer this recipe over the popular green tea kit kat recipe. I tried a few variations of this pioneer recipe and I like the original version best just as written in this post.
This is the first recipe i chose to make from this subreddit, and dude, this is amazing! So much depth to the flavor. Really dig it man, thank you again
Sell me a bottle please !!!!!!!!!
Appreciate the interest but any talk of selling ejuice is shunned upon here. You might have luck at DIY_classifieds
