After mixing Turn oven on to 200 place by vent for 3 hours Shaking vigorously every 20 to 30 min to acheave 1 weeks worth of steeping and enjoy. This one is Right on the money
After tasting this recipe side-by-side with SJ Andromeda it seems like this recipe is missing something - a bit of clean tanginess that the SJ has. I'm thinking that adding bit a lemon would do the trick.
The tang that is missing is citric acid. I use a 10% solution at 2% of volume. I also drop the Vanillin to 3% and up the Pomegranate to 4%. That might just be a personal preference, though.
How important is the Vanillin in this recipe?
I was thinking of replacing it with Bavarian Cream but wanted to know if it would completely change the flavour profile.
Thanks
I tried this exact mix and it was nice but, as others have said, it lacked something. So I tried again with the inclusion of 1% citric acid solution (10% w/v). It's ok as a shake and vape, it's a bit harsh on the throat at the min. I assume this is due to the citric acid needing a few days to relax. Overall, it's rather similar. In te space jam version I tasted a bit more vanilla, maybe even custard?
I’ve been working on getting this closer to the real deal and I believe marshmallow is one of the key ingredients that’s missing. It works with the vanillin to add the much needed cohesion between the naturally sharp blueberry and pomegranate flavors. It also adds the sweetness that seems like it’s lacking a bit...that would take the place of tyr crap load of Sucralose the store bought prob has.
