When adding flavor to a blended drink with concentrate where is the flavor subtracted from?

• A. From the milk
• B. From the ice
• C. From the water
• D. From your concentrate

Answer: (D)

Flavor in a blended drink that uses concentrate comes from the concentrate itself. To adjust how strong or mild the flavor is, you modify the concentrate portion of the recipe rather than tweaking milk, ice, or water. The concentrate is the flavor carrier, so subtracting from it (or adding to it) changes the drink’s flavor intensity directly while keeping the rest of the drink’s texture, sweetness, and dilution stable. Altering milk, ice, or water would change mouthfeel and volume in ways you don’t want, so the most controlled way to tune flavor is to adjust the concentrate.
