Many thanks lairey & Greg

Welcome Costa.

I've addressed the same question directly to them. Their answer was 20%. It depends though on how much flavor you wish to have. Even with 15% it's fine for me.

Hello to all.

i'm very happy to present my first recipe (please feel free to propose a name as it's a tweaked rice pudding).

Methodology:

1. The ingredients were mixed gradually and not all together(i'll explain below). Each liquid was separately steeped and then mixed with the others
2. All liquids were steeped naturally with 48 hours lid open and 5 days lid closed except Mastic and Cinnamon that proved very intense so it took around 25 days to provide me a good IMO taste and aroma
3. All bases were preset with 6mg nicotine and i used bases from t-juice (pg and vg)

Base liquids creation (all seperately mixed , steeped)

9ML DKS - SWEET RICE (mild 8%) 40-60 pg / vg steeped with 2 drops cooling agent cv9 40-60 pg / vg
5.5 ML CV9 MALTED MILK (very mild 4%) 40-60 pg / vg
3ML FA APPLE (very mild 3%) 50-50 pg/vg
1.5 ML CINNAMON atmoslab (very strong) 70-30 pg/vg with 3% flavor
2ML MASTIC atmoslab (very strong) 70-30 pg/vg with 3% flavor
3ML DKS VANILLA (mild flavor 8%) 40-60 pg / vg

Step 1.

Mixing of Sweet Iced Rice + Malted Milk + Apple (1 day all together) then

Step 2.

Mixing Cinnamon and Mastic (1 day together) then

Step 3.

Mix Liquids of Step 1 + Step 2 (1 day all together)

Step 4.

Mix Liquids of Step 3 + Vanilla

Step 5.

Add 1 drop Ethyl Maltol + 2 extra drops Cooling agent

The result.

You get very well the sweet rice but with a crisp note of mastic and cinnamon along with a distant note of apple that in combination with ethyl maltol (i guess there is something as well on the sweet rice) makes a very mild pudding taste that combines with a bit of coolness.

Personally i'm delighted with the result. It's not a rice pudding , it seems like but it isn't as the apple added a very enjoyable undertone.
Mistakes maybe. Adding the extra sweetener at the end? this is a matter of gusto. Some like their pudding with more sugar , personally i like it with more cinnamon though i was a afraid that adding more
would neutralize the rice aroma. As i have 20 ml of liquid (the 5ml already vaped) i will try a small batch with more cinnamon.

No concerning Mastic which is a mystery ingredient for all of you i guess as it's a local delicacy. The cinnamon have actually killed the aroma , it's there but far away from the mix. So i guess it will not make
any difference to you if you let it off. Otherwise try to mix bubble gum with a spicy cinnamon. It could be close , maybe not? i don't know. The actual result of the mix was to keep the sharpness of cinnamon
but eliminate the harshness.

Many thanks to all of you guys here for the assistance. But also many thanks to Grizwald as reading his notes gave me the idea to create separate batches and then mix them together that i believe it was crucial for
so many ingredients.

I'm expecting some good names propositions for my recipe in order to have a godfather / godmother.

Merry Christmas to all

ps. i will update with second set of tests on the base.

Hello Guys.

my solution concerning the part of storing bases is to get some glass milk bottles, sauce jars , etc and follow this process:

1. Cleaning
2. Sterilization
3. And then famous Jamie Oliver method

Free and convenient.

Kind regards

Hi yourgurnard it's mastic natural organic gum , it could be used as a bathroom sealant in case you are able to pay for 120 euros per kilo
