Taste Test Technique:

Take 1 (8oz) cup and use it as the starting point for determining the number of drops to get just the right subtleness or boldness of flavoring.  We recommend 4-6 drops, so start with 3 and taste the water, or favorite beverage.  If it's to weak, start again and add 1 drop at a time until you reach the desired flavoring.  You control the subtleness or boldness of the flavoring.  Do the same for coffee flavoring only this time start with 2 drops, adjust for taste accordingly.
