Know These Details to Use Essential Oils to Flavour Food & Drinks Safely.

[@AshitaN0J0E]

Bro no one cares about videos that are so important like this one itself. Knowing details like this could make a big difference when it comes to build cocktails!

[@bencox8870]

I want to compliment you on your videos. They are fantastic. Very informative. Very helpful. Well thought out. I'm impressed by your knowledge, research skills and willingness to share. You have inspired me to follow my interest in making homemade soda. I've been needing a hobby and I think this might be it. I've already ordered a 500ml dropping funnel from hBARSCI, but it's unfortunately on a 60 to 90 day backorder. The information you provide and the time you save people is more than worthy of being paid. I will be doing the Patreon thing. Good on you for doing this.

[@Artofdrink]

Thanks Ben. I suspect you will find making homemade soda, and other drinks, rewarding. It is complex enough to keep you interested but not so complex that it requires excessive equipment or knowledge. Cheers

[@Tmanaz480]

There are several perfumery channels on KZbin, but a dearth of flavoring-oriented channels. Thanks for filling that gap.

[@MattCha90]

Glad to be part of the patrion, your help had been so valuable on our projects 😁

[@Artofdrink]

Thanks! It is appreciated and helps keep the videos getting produced. And if you though the first 25 videos were valuable, there is some really good stuff in the pipeline.

[@derya4485]

I have been looking for a video or such on this topic for ages! I have always been confused about how people doing stuff like following the open cola recipe, etc can find essential oils to use that are actually safe to consume, when all I would ever find at the store is stuff that says on the bottle that it's for "therapeutic use" only. You explain everything perfectly, in a world where many of the other experts I have turned to seem to have no idea what is going on. Thanks SO much!

How are colors adjusted in the flavored drink industry and how to use either manufactured food colors or natural food colors and how to adjust them in the drink

[@kittycato2023]

I have 2 questions... can I use vanilla essential oil and a few drops of vanilla food flavoring as a scented diffuser mix? I wonder if alcohol in foid flavoring makes it flammable. Only a few drops I'm thinking. To enhance scent. Thanks. Great video.

[@mistrzmistrzow2208]

I used to look for materials on this very topic, before you started running the channel I did not find too many such valuable materials, a lot of valuable information. Do you recommend any books?

[@Artofdrink]

There are many books and I'll eventually put together a list.

[@Lori.LaurieMoore]

Thank you you’re awesome

[@mohdabrar2839]

THANKS

[@Velgburs]

Your video is great I am also interested in trying to make syrup ,but I was confused when looking for essential oils in my country when I asked whether they were food grade, several online stores answered that their products were for type cosmetics, type for parfum and type aromatherapy, they could not guarantee that they were safe for syrup. are their products safe?

[@milesthompson6145]

Off-topic, but have you ever tried to recreate Julmust? I would be very interested in that.

[@Artofdrink]

No, that's definitely a Scandinavian thing, though it sounds quite interesting. Might have to do more research, though I suspect it is a proprietary recipe.

[@niekbartelse5846]

I live in europe, and I want to use lemon and lime oil (seperately) to enhance my super juices (as per your other video). Whenever I google it if it's safe to ingest, I keep getting results like, it's absolutely not safe to ingest etc, when i google lime essential oil gras then it's approved. I believe what you are preaching here, I do. But I feel like i am not educated enough to put even a few drops to 1 liter into my drinks as i feel too afraid to hurt people. I did find one seller who claims there product to be bio + 100% organic. Should I just drop it? We don't really have a gras list here in Netherlands I hope to get a response 😄 Thanks for the content

[@Artofdrink]

Don't let anxiety and fear control your ability to make drinks. The "not safe for ingestion" simply applies to drinking the concentrated product, because there are people that promote that on the internet, which is dumb. Properly diluted that is how natural flavours are created.

[@niekbartelse5846]

@@Artofdrink Do you recommend to put any allergie warning on my product label? for lemon/lime oils

[@isaacholzwarth]

I have always wanted to open a soda parlor, so I'm doing research now and will be watching all your videos. I want to make all the soda from scratch, not just buy other people's soda syrups. Is there a reason to go down the essential oil flavoring route rather than to make soda syrup by boiling real fruit and ingredients to make a syrup? I'm sure consistency and longevity are factors, but if making batches fresh weekly isn't a problem, using essential oils seems one step away from making it from scratch, and I'm not sure it's the right route to go down. Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

[@Artofdrink]

Welcome. Essential oils are more consistent and you'll find using fruit expensive because of the time require to process and cooking does produce a "cooked" flavour that doesn't appeal to some people. Historically, most sodas were always made with essential oils and it allows you lots of room to be creative. We have all tasted basic fruit sodas, getting creative by mixing different flavour creates a unique experience and people like that.

[@knotslip8862]

Great video. 2 questions. Does it make sense to buy certified organic essential oils? And, can you make your own essential oils? Is this a viable option or is it too difficult for the average person to do? Thanks for the great videos!

[@Artofdrink]

Thanks. If organic is important to you then sure, but most plant material is pretty clean and if they distill the oil it becomes quite pure. And it is probably not worth the time an effort to make your own essential oils. The costs are much higher and the time to make them is significant.

[@mikegiebelhausen]

Thanks for all the fantastic content! Quick (maybe silly) question. The phrase I seem to encounter the most is "100% pure and natural" vs. ""100% natural." Is this equivalent, or does it signal some sort of marketing shenanigans? Also, the pricing seems to vary dramatically from one brand to the next. Is price a valid signal of quality in this space or is it more or less a marketing decision? Thanks again!

[@Artofdrink]

Both are the same, a lot of it is marketing speak. You can use all-natural or 100% or pure, all are equivalent.

How to know when do you use an essential oil or an extract for flavouring?

[@usmanjeee786]

Where can you buy food flavours oil in wholesale thanks in advance

[@punkdigerati]

There's some kind of popping noise on the audio

[@Anonanon-ht7xx]

Do you experience that noise only on this video, or elsewhere? It's a maddening thing to track down and fix, but can be solved. Good luck.

[@punkdigerati]

@@Anonanon-ht7xx only this video.

[@Anonanon-ht7xx]

@@punkdigerati Did you try listening on multiple devices, to see if the noise is consistent? Are audio drivers all up to date? Hardware wears out over time, a possible source.

[@jacks3536]

I'm wanting to create a scented oil garnish for a martini style drink. Would it be possible to add say lemon essential oil and vegetable oil (as a carrier) and just drop those on top? Any reference on ratios if so?? Many thanks.

[@Artofdrink]

Possibly, you might want to try something like MCT coconut oil but most oils tend to bind up the flavour and they are not as aromatic as you would expect.

[@beautybybiswash9916]

Is flavor oil and essential oil same

[@Artofdrink]

No, flavour oils are often artificial where and essential oil is a natural extract.

[@braumenheimer9607]

Goddamn that's a lot of bottles!

[@rezaagustianhadinata]

can I get this stuff that smells like KFC on my fried chicken?

[@KvtnJvfjb-pd9ii]

Looks like u only created your video to make others subscribe your patreon

[@Artofdrink]

That is correct; nobody should work for free, including me.

[@Christian-ve1wi]

​@@Artofdrinkthank you for the information that you do provide for free and your content is exceptional 👌 If I go down the road I'm thinking of then I'm most likely to become a patreon you're giving me some inspiration to start a drinks business but don't know yet.. Many thanks 😊

[@Anonanon-ht7xx]

At 8:07, you don't DEFINE "at a natural level". At around 11:50 you fail to DEFINE "sketchy youtuber" and you fail to provide your credentials.

[@Artofdrink]

You need to know where to look for natural levels. My last video will point you the right direction and the video I’m editing now will show you how to do the calculations. I can’t put everything in one video. As for who I am, look me up.

[@gladystan9328]

As a certified Aromatherapist, I'm glad yoy pointed out about sketchy sellers and YTers on EO. So many people think natural = safe, and make that mistake of applying EO directly onto skin or drink them. EO always need to be diluted. Love your videos. @luffbotanicals

[@manthankher7929]

hello sir, I need your help I am from India how to contact you
