Adding sweetener to steeped juice?
submitted almost 8 years ago by Hey_Cocco

I made a batch of cookies and cream flavored juice, 100ml steeping and 60ml for shake and vape until the 100ml is ready. I added sweetener to the 60ml and I'm liking it sweet like this, and can't wait till it steeps. My question is if i wanted to add sweetener to the 100ml would it effect it right away or would it need to steep as well. I'm fairly new so i thought I'd ask.

Little of column A, little of column B.

You'll definitely detect sweetness immediately, but it will most likely continue to develop over time. It can have effects that you don't care for so maybe start with doing it to 30mLs and setting it aside to see how it ages. Everything is worth experimenting with.

What a relevant name, and in so many situations.

I see. Well I'm really liking this recipe and the one with sweetener just keeps getting better and better. I know what you mean. Might just add 2% to the 100ml as opposed to the 4% i added to the 60ml. Thanks for your help and quick reply!

A shot in the dark here, and of course, a bit of my own preferences. But if you're using ChrisDVR's recipe, or something decently similar to it, I've found that the juice really sweetens as it steeps. After just a few days, the difference is crazy.

I'm fairly certain it's the Sugar Cookie flavoring itself that makes it so noticeable. It's a very pronounced difference compared to how Bavarian Cream of French Creme steeps when I use it in other recipes.

I am using that recipe! Personally i like my juice really sweet so i think I'll be alright seeing as how i already added 2% last night.

The sweetener itself wouldn't need to steep, but I would wait to add it because the juice may become more sweet as it steeps. So wait a couple weeks and try your juice, then add sweetener if you think it needs it.
