Flavour concentrate

[trish]

I persuaded the vendor that does my favourite juice to sell me some of the concentrate, thinking that I could have a go at making my own.
I received the concentrate today.....and it smells nothing like the ready made juice that I normally use, (which is raspberry, BTW) It smells more like banana to me, lol!
Is it because the flavouring is so concentrated?
I have mixed a 2 ml sample and will let it steep for a week and see what it is like then.
Fingers crossed.

You can always put a tiny drop of your mix on your finger and give it a taste to see what it tastes like, but only a TINY drop mind you!

If you taste it I've found that it's best not to use the tip of my tongue but the middle (literally the middle width and middle length). That way I seem to get the flavour but not the sharpness.
