Holy Vanilla

[lush]

Has anyone used holy vanilla in a custard recipe?

I've tried it as a standalone lush, to get a feel for the flavour . . . . it was fine, although for my tastes TFA's French Vanilla Deluxe works better - so I didn't get any further than that.

Are you looking for ratio suggestions?

I`m going to add it to some custard at 1% to start with!

I’ve tried it in several mixes, lush, usually between 1.5 to 2.5%; it’s a nice middling Vanilla, if I want a sweet vanilla I tend to use Flavour Arts Vanilla Tahiti, if I want a less sweet one I use their Vanilla Bourbon, I also like the TFA V Deluxe, but have only recently got it so don’t yet use in any mixes.

My standalone I made at 12% and it wasn't overly strong at that ratio either Lush - but as we all know taste is a very personal and individual thing!

And it depends what else you're adding to it.

It's my staple vanilla Beedee, one of the few that was around when I first started mixing, it worked for me so I've kinda stuck with it despite trying others - needs a good, long steep to be at it's best. Sometimes I might add 1% of Vanillin for an extra creamy hit . . . . . and if I want something less ' desserty ' then Inawera's Shisha Vanilla is another I find very good.

I did add 5% to a pre-steeped tfa vanilla custard and after 7days it`s got more a smoother mouth feel!next i`m going to add to some Kreeds Kustard.

If it's a straight TFA VC, then it will benefit and become more ' rounded ' with the addition of a vanilla flavour . . . . . I quite like TFA's as an alternative to Capella, it's more custardy for my tastes.
