You’ve taken the plunge. You’ve tried the miracle fruit for yourself, and have been blown away by the effect it has had, transforming the way you taste sour, bitter, and acidic foods into delightfully sweet treats.
Or maybe you haven’t tried the miracle fruit yet, and you don’t want to do it alone.
Have a party!
Perhaps you want to shock and amaze your guests, or you want them to cheer you on as you try the miracle fruit for the first time. Either way, we at the Miracle Fruit Blog are here to save help you. If you’re in the dark about what flavor tripping is, click here.
Step 1:
Buy some miracle fruit tablets. We normally go with the tablets for a few reasons: they have a longer shelf-life (about 12 – 18 months), whereas the berries can only last 2 to 3 days. Also, it takes about 3 berries to make one tablet. For more info, click here.
Step 2:
Plan ahead of time what kinds of foods you would want everyone to try. You can even request some assistance from your guests. Ask that they bring foods, fruits, or drinks to try with the miracle fruit. Encourage curiosity. Acquire, prepare, and arrange the foods and drinks you are going to sample.
Preparation of the foods is key. You and your guests don’t want to waste time peeling, ripping, or cutting different foods apart. Arrange bite-size samples of the foods you would like to try. Check out our recipes page for taste suggestions, as well as many food and drink (non-alcoholic and alcoholic) recipes. Click here.
Step 3:
Taste some of the foods without the effect of the miracle fruit. It will give you a baseline of how things normally taste, and it’s just a lot more fun seeing how much the foods have changed in comparison.
Step 4:
Dissolve a miracle fruit tablet on your tongue. Don’t chew! All you and your guests want to do is place a miracle fruit tablet on the tongue. Let it dissolve. Swirl, swoosh, and mix your saliva with the miracle fruit tablet and let it coat as much of your tongue and taste buds as possible. It’s not going to work if it doesn’t come in contact with your tastebuds. This is very important. Once the tablet has dissolved, you’re ready to go.
Flavor or taste trip away. This is an experience to remember. Have fun with it. Try what you can. Make different concoctions and mixes. Share.
Play a game: Feed a blindfolded person different foods and have them guess what it is they are eating. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
WARNING:
Just because something doesn’t taste acidic, doesn’t mean it’s not acidic. Going overboard with eating lemons and chugging vinegar may take a toll on your stomach. Go easy.
