Test 01 - 14 days steep time - very accurate After Eight taste but the mint comes before and stronger than the chocolate. Vanilla élevâtes the mix by adding a sweet vanilla flavor.
Changed
- Milk Chocolate (Jungle Flavors) 2.50% to Double Chocolate (Clear) (TPA) 3%
- Vanilla Custard (Cap) 1% to Vanilla Custard (TPA) with the same ratio
- Double Chocolate (Clear) (TPA) 3% to Double Chocolate (Dark) (TPA) with the same ratio
5 Pawns Bowden's Mate has been an ADV for me for a very long time. When I started DIYing, one of my goals was to create an interpretation worthy of the real thing. I tried every clone recipe out there I could find - none came even close. More than 6 months and 20 versions later, the one below ticks all the boxes for me - a really simple recipe compared to some of the others tried.
The Peppermint, Menthol and Koolada percentages below are as close to the real juice as one can get imo, but feel free to play around with these to suit your personal taste.
The INW Chocolate starts coming into its own after about 10 days. A 4 week steep is optimal.
EDIT: Since the old formula of INW Milk Chocolate is becoming scarce, I have replaced it with JF Milk Chocolate, which works perfectly in its place.
