From the picture, this tops my list, flaming hot Cheetos… after mentioning it yesterday, my enzyme came in later than expected but I decided to send it anyways. It’s so greasy it’s probably turned me off Cheetos forever. However, science must ensue. Here we have 15 pounds of flamin hot Cheetos mashed with enzymes for an hour and 8 pounds of sugar. Honestly, after tasting the mash, the heat doesn’t come through, and frankly it mainly tastes/smells like a corn mash. Personally I’ll be surprised if I can tell the difference between this and a white whiskey made from straight corn. So, what’s the dumbest thing you’ve done?

Probably look to anything with oily aromatics. That would probably transfer the most amount of flavor. There's probably a shitton of herbs out that it would work with.

Yeah, that’s basically the thought behind the spinach and random herb idea I have, probably will be awful for drinking but thankfully I also cook daily so at worst I can use it to infuse some flavor into a dish lol

Hah I'm really curious on the rosemary, also, Basil buds/flowers if you have access to them. Very aromatic.

I grow my own basil, so definitely have access to those :)
