Woodruff (Deluxe)¶

Woodruff flavor (or “Waldmeister”) is a rather German thing, used in the green version of Berliner Kindl, in May punch (Maibowle), or as a flavor of Ahoi Brause.

This works using instant drink powder sticks for flavoring. With this recipe, you can use any brand and flavor of instant drink powder you like though (e.g. IQMIX in the US), as long as it is normally mixed into about 500ml of water.

The one I use is based on maltodextrin, and already contains a good amounts of sweetness, so make sure to dial in any additional sweeteners to your palate. While doing so, keep the freezing point depression in mind (more trehalose and less erythritol lowers both PAC and POD).

Spin on “Sorbet”, scrape down, and re-mix.

3. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
4. Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
5. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
6. Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
7. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
