clankfu Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Do any of you guys use anything to mask the taste of the awful RC sludge? I seriously dread and gag at just the thought of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatHurtsMyHead Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 A few drops of peppermint extract works wonders with the taste. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clankfu Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 I use lemon juice right now and it doesn't do much for me. I'll try the peppermint extract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clankfu Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Or strain the sludge through a coffee filter just before drinking. Isn't it recommended to drink all the sludge to get the full dosage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 If the seeds are viable, I don't think it matters much. I've done it both ways and gotten good results both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Tanaka Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The most luck I had with the flavor is Peppermint Tea, which supposedly could increase the effect. It might be... hard to tell. I let it steep in COLD tea (let it cool down for an hour) then stir / inhale / hold breath / chug / add a bit of water to get the remaining sludge / chug / wash mouth out with water (even a piece or two of a seed left where I can taste it bring on the heaves) / exhale. Whole process is about 20 seconds. Typically follow up with a strong citrus drink like OJ or grapefruit juice, again sloshing it around the mouth to get any last bit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer1_NC Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I just chug the mess down quickly and chase it with a tasty beverage........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant2 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 In addition to all of the above, avoid SMELLING it. The sense of taste is directly linked to smell, if you avoid sticking your nose in the cup or inhaling through your nose while drinking the RC mess, it won't be nearly as bad. It's mostly mental, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
