I would love to have a cocktail using passionfruit that also uses these products. I’d also like to know if one can use a Co2 infuser, like SodaStream, instead of the siphon, which is pretty expensive to operate.
As with many people, I am not supposed to drink grapefruit juice. How can I create the impression of grapefruit without actually eating or drinking grapefruit products?
Tomatoes in my area are not very flavorful. Can I use your Elixir to enhance the tomato flavor in tomato-based dishes, like gazpacho or tomato sauce or tomato-garlic pie?
