Genie Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 On a whim I grabbed some frozen green grapes out of the freezer and added them to the water in my vase instead of throwing some ice cubes in the vase like I usually do. NICE! Cooled the water off ever so gently and added a nice sweetness to my Nakhla Jasmine. Might start freezing a few other fruits just for this purpose.

Evilsquirrel Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I'm smoking some AF Vanilla with frozen strawberries(the kind you buy in a bag) and it is amazing. I couldn't taste the strawberries at first, but as they're thawing im getting a nice flavor that isn't overpowering the vanilla.

The best way to describe the flavor would be...........strawberry shortcake? you know, angelfood cake with strawberries and cool whip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 i really don't see how adding frozen grapes would help....unless they were peeled. the skin should keep a majority of the "grape juice" inside the grape...not to mention, i don't really believe adding liquid to the base does much for flavor...although, there are some liquids that i think can have an effect...

Every time Ive put stuff in the base doesn't come through. With the exception of a very strong flavored drink. My 2copper anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynysterPhoenix Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It depends on what stuff you use as a base. I know from experience that white wine and OJ have altered the flavor significantly. Though I don't like to waste booze or Vitamin C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe g2 or rain would work better because its watered down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only added a hint of sweetness in addition to keeping the water cool. Worked for me, that's all I can really say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
