Hi, I've been making some nice milkshake flavours and am sure I read about a cooling concentrate.
Obviously no flavour, just added a cool effect.
What is the name of this stuff and would it work to give a milkshake that cold refreshing taste it should have?
If so if doing a 20% flavour, how much would you adjust it by?
 
Yep, koolada is the one! Usually used at 0.5-2%, and yes I have seen it used in ice cream/milkshake recipes.. [emoji106][emoji2][emoji2]
 
This isnt as simple a question as it seems on the surface, there a few kooling agents out there for diffrent applications.

First off you got koolada good for all juices, then you got menthol wich is good for all juices but is better kept in low quantitys to not add a taste.

Then you have inawara eucalyptus and mint wich gives a great cooling affect but also adds flavour to the juice so only use with fruits and anise/absinth blends.

Then you have your peppermint/spearmint wich has its own distinct flavour but also is its own cooling agent wich is good to add to fruits and anise/absinthe blends too like jeckyl and hide e juice for example.

What ive found works best is not to use any 1 of these but use smaller amounts in conjuntion with each other so in my anise/absinth blends i use 1% koolada and 0.5% eucalyptus and mint and 0.5 menthol wich gives the best cooling result without adding any unwanted flavour.

Hope that helps
 
That's the stuff!! If I add this to my mix, steep it and then think it needs a bit more, would it need another steep, or if well mixed is it an instant concentrate?
 
Cooling agents dont need steeping, exception is eucalyptus and mint wich will start off alot stronger than it settels as, try small 3ml batches to figure out the perfect blend, its all trial and error but if you need any more help just message me
