Green Storm

The popular Sturm Longfill by Kapka's Flava (Germany) looks pretty exciting on its picture and the description is like the picture.

Short description of it is: vanilla ice cream with woodruff syrup and a sour green apple and cooling.

Unfortunately it does not even taste close to this description in my opinion. So i made it myself as i thought it should taste.

​

So what you will get with this recipe is mainly a mix of woodruff with a green apple in a milky vanilla ice cream.

The cream from the vanilla ice cream seems to add something like a body to the green apple.

​

I like adding the SSA Milkshake dairy type to their ice cream vanilla as this results into a nice milky ice cream.

​

As WS-23 does not really mix with the ice cream very well, i did not add it to the recipe.

It would taste more like a ice cubes swimming on top of the ice cream. But you can do it, if you would like to of course.

​

Due to the fact, that Herrlan flavours are mainly available in Germany and other woodruff flavours are not even close to this one, it will be a bit of work to replace it.

Herrlan woodruff is a high concentrated flavour. So you will probably have to use more. Inawera Woodruff will probably something around 4%.

Additionally other woodruff flavours need up to 8 week steep time to get rid of their off notes, while Herrlan is not really becoming much better after 1-2 weeks. It is slightly improving after 4-8 weeks, but it is not really worth mentioning it.

To improve the taste of some woodruff flavours it might be a good idea to add just a little bit menthol to the mix. Just a very small quantity so you would not even notice its taste. Something like 0,1% or so. Or just a drop or a few more depending on the mixed quantity.

Adjust the sweetener to your personal preference.
