History: This recipe began as a quest to discover a vanilla cream base that would work well in a variety of circumstances. After testing this base on it's ~12th variation as a standalone, I realized that it had a ton of merit to stand on it's own. You can find some other development notes from when I first discussed this about 18 months ago here.
Steep and Use: Allow at least a 1 week period to steep/age/homogenize/whateverthefuckyouwanttocallit. If you use Vanilla Custard V2, allow 30 days. This recipe really is best IME after 30 days, gets better at 90 days, and is truly a gem after 6 months but good luck waiting that long. Goes excellently with your morning coffee, or if you prefer a more subtle, ADV that isn't super sweet and isn't fruity, it may work for you there as well. I will admit that I had a recipe similar to this when I first got into DIY and it was the first ever non-fruity mix that became an ADV for me.
Nice. I still don't have two of the flavors i need and i'm "not allowed" to place anymore orders yet. Being patient is a PITA especially when someone says it's good !!!
