Nice pics! I shoulda done that.
So, process was a little less involved. I used Kroger’s Private Selection Rooibos tea. I put two tea bags worth of tea in a 50ml repurposed plastic bottle and filled it up with about 40ml of warm PG. I shook the mess out of it and stuck it in a window for two days. I shook it every time I remembered to, which was probably only a few times. Then I strained it twice with an aeropress and a paper filter, rinsed the bottle out, and put it back in the 50ml. I probably wound up with about 30ml after all was said and done.
I mixed up a batch of 7% Rooibos NET (I need to change the name of my flavor in my stash…I like that better), 2% marshmallow (TPA), and 2% Madagascar Vanilla Classic (FA). It’s pretty weak even after a good steep, so I’m thinking the NET is gonna need more like 10-20% or more or I need to up the amount of tea or time I let it sit. I was worried it would get too bitter if I let it sit for too long. What I wound up tasting most was the vanilla, but there was definitely some tea undertones.
I did a couple tablespoons of ground coffee in warm PG a ways back, but I haven’t used it in ages since I got the Dark Bean from FA. It was better than the few other coffee flavorings I’d tried before then, though.
I’m anxious to try again with some other teas I have. I’ve got a Passionfruit Papaya that’s really good and sounds like it’d make a great liquid.
