The natural concentrates from the alchemists cupboard

@ijohn1976 theFA blood orange is another citrus one you might like. It’s actually too citrusy for me, the concentrate is very opaque and thick. It actually looks a bit like freshly squeezed orange juice.

So these natural concentrates arrived today. It seems the flavour ingredients are natural, right enough. I got fig, plum and rose. They smell fantastic. I took the adventurous step of adding 4% fig to a 1/4 full bottle of FA green tea, and topping it up with 12mg base mix.

It’s very good. I love fig concentrates and this is a good one. I think it could go a bit stronger. But it’s actually the closest to an actual fig of the 3 I’ve tried. @Ment you might like this one. First go with it after a quick shake it seems more fig like that the FA or Atmos Labs. I might stick another 2% in.

Looking forward to trying the others, and involving them in blends whenever I have time to get round to mixing.

welcome to the party

Ha ha ok, I’ll start at 2%.

Just out of curiosity have you tried the plum yet and if so how low a % have you managed to get away with?

 

[zouzounaki]

Not yet, I’ll mix some over the weekend if I have time. I’ll probably start at 3 %, and report back my findings.

@StrawberryRipple I finally got round to trying this plum. Mixed at 5%. It’s very good, cheers for the recommendation.

Thank you.
This gives me an indication of how low % you go.
I think i went 12% plum with 5% inawera blackcurrant and 1% malic acid with the last lot i bought dtl 3mg.

While were on the subject of recommendations im not giving up on the condensed milk just yet despite my recent over dose
I believe its going to need diluting down for me to be able to use it successfully though as its extremely potent.
Its got some of the same creamy element's as the FA butter

It mellows out a bit over time (either that or you acquire the taste for it, one of the two!)

I dumped my fodder into half a litre of custardy juice and its given it a nice creamy addition so im sure ill figure it out.

One drop per 10 ml is my ideal measure of it.
