Pencil_Pusher Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Bought a 21oz bottle of brown rice honey from Fred Meyers for $3.89 last night. I remember the thread on making this stuff at home, a while back. Maybe you could skip the chemists concoctions and just drink your Cytomax with this. You get the energy and whatever-the-hell-Cytomax-uses for the endurance. Or you could mix some of the Cytomax powder in with the honey/syrup. Now I'm not remembering if what I bought was honey or syrup... well, whatever the main ingredient is for the Clif Shot, that is what I bought. So honey/syrup mixed with Cytomax (either on the go through liquid, or mixed with gu prior) would be a simple and cost-effective way to go. Well, cost effective compared to Gu ($1/oz). Does that sound right or did I just eat way too much chocolate before thinking about this? Quote
iain Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 I've mixed it w/ chocolate syrup before. had to plug my nose while eating it but it worked well. Quote
b-rock Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 I've tried a rasberry fruit syrup to mix with the brown rice syrup. Somewhat palatable, but never tasted quite like the Cliff Shot flavor I was trying to emulate. Chocolate syrup was a little better. Quote
iain Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 better? I'm surprised you didn't puke on the raspberry stuff then Quote
Pencil_Pusher Posted January 13, 2003 Author Posted January 13, 2003 I tried some this weekend on toast... thinking it was sweet like honey. Not quite, definitely a 'unique' taste to it. I think I'll try that chocolate syrup suggestion. Quote
Dru Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 You could make Marmite/Vegemite flavour with home made. Quote
iain Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 Aunt Jemima is maple flavored. traskbait, plain and simple Quote
allthumbs Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 the only real recipe for homemade gu = one part me, and one part you (assuming "you" is a chica, of course). Quote
Pencil_Pusher Posted March 8, 2003 Author Posted March 8, 2003 Delayed studying by adding bakers cocoa with instant coffee mix (crushed coffee crystals to powder first) and then added this to the jar of brown rice syrup and blended throroughly. It was about a tablespoon and a half... I didn't really measure, just dumped some in. So now the syrup tastes like those Coffee Nips (candy). The cocoa because I didn't want to add sugar, the caffeine because it came to mind. Simple... making gu for dummies. Quote
