SpaceGirl Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The Root Beer is good (and very strong).Lime Sugar is yummy -- but I feel like I have to use a lot.I have many more that I haven't tried yet. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks all! Another question, do any of you sweeten these? The info on their website says it's not necessary so just wondering which way you all prefer them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I do, although the amount depends on the flavor. Lime Sugar I sweeten more than the Honey Clover (which I also have and like). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to look at my grocery for some of the stevia drops they recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I've only successfully used Sugar Kisses from MMS. I tried powdered stevia once and couldn't get it to melt and incorporate -- but then again I have no confidence that I was doing it correctly. I just got some powdered stevia from Brambleberry (much finer grain) and will try that some time soon. There are other folks who have used stevia successfully. If you can get the search feature to work, try looking in this forum and you should get some hits.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks, I also have the fine grain powdered stevia from Brambleberry...I'll give it a try and plan to also try the drops if I can find them locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I thoroughly love them! I don't sweeten them. I do not notice a bitterness to them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks, I'm definately going to order some...now to decide which ones...they have so many :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I couldn't pick a few, so I got dang near all of 'em lol! Good luck on the choices. Would suck to be in that position again lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I LOVE LOVE LOVE the margarita (so does everyone else that tries it). The chai tea and coffee and kahlua are also to die for. I may be the only one that does this, but I melt a bit of sugar in with the oils until it's completely dissolved and have never had a problem.

Peachdream Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I love their Peppermint Ice, Voodoo Berry and Bubble Gum. I dont use a sweetener and have never felt the need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirloomoriginals Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have had a few of them in my cart, but never ordered. I wish they weren't so far away. HOpefully, if my sales pick up, I can add a few for this summer and get different ones for fall.I asked her about co-op pricing, but she said they don't do that any more. Her prices are very good, though.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Candelishis Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Here ya go.http://www.oregontrailsoaps.com/Thank you dear. I got mojito, coffee & Kahlua, Dreamsicle, and chocolate truffle! Can't wait!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Oooh yum! They all sound so terrific! How would one even choose only a few? haha! I may have to try the chai tea. The raspberry sounds really nice too! Gosh, yet another site to spend my $ on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefliesandpixies Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 My only complaint is that they don't post usage rates (or at least they didn't last time I checked). I did email because my lips burned from using the Pumpkin Pie and was told no - they don't have usage rates which I find pretty irresponsible for a supplier not to know. Regardless, I love many of their fos so continue to order from OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye_SC Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I made my lip balms today, and used Strawberry, Cherry and Watermelon, They are all yummy.Now to figure out the labeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefliesandpixies Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Really? So this isn't what you were wanting then? http://www.oregontrailsoaps.com/flavors.htmla) they didn't have that on there when I purchased and even if they did.....b)that's not a safety usage rate - it's just a general guideline or starting point. I'm guessing the pumpkin pie (because of the cinnamon content) is going to have a different safety usage rate then say...strawberry. Plus - you really should measure by weight and not by volume. A tsp of one can be quite different than a tsp of another because of the weight. Same thing with fos - right?!? A bottle of one fo may only be filled 3/4 full whereas another might be all the way to the top but each weigh 16oz.Flavor oil usage rates vary wildly with suppliers. I think BCN's usage rate is up to 6% whereas others are down as low as 1%. I personally would like to know the safety usage rate - especially if its something I'm going to sell.

DosGardenias23 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The usage rate was only recently posted to the OT site. When I first bought flavor oils from them, this past summer, I had to email numerous times over several weeks before I finally got a response about how much to use. I'm glad they have it posted on the site now. That said, I do really like the flavor oils I have from them. I use the Lime Sugar, Chai Tea, Mint Green Tea and Cherie Rose. My experience with OT has always been amazing supplies, not such amazing customer service - but I like the supplies enough that I continue to shop there, and I do recommend the flavor oils. And I know many have shopped there without any customer service issues, so don't let my couple of bad experiences deter anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Makes sense. That was the only thing I saw when I was scouting for flavors, but then again perhaps it's a preference and 1 tsp is a good starting point, even weighed out. For a 1/4 batch of my recipe, 1 tsp is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
