Lemon Bubblegum Strain is a gum extract that comes in different forms, the most common of which is the unflavored gelatin version. It was created in a laboratory by Dr. Walter U. Kopp, who is said to have created it to improve the taste of candies. He added lemons and spices to candies that were difficult to use, such as grape jelly and lemonade. By doing so, he believed that they would acquire a unique flavor.
The gum was not well received for several years because of its uniqueness. There are only about five manufacturers of this product and the majority of them produce the unflavored variety. Because of this, the candy industry did not take off until it began to be marketed under the name Lemon Bubbles. The product soon became popular and it can now be found in most local drug stores.
Lemon Bubblegum Strain comes in two different forms. The first one is called Lemon Bubbles Concentrate and it has equal parts of the extract. The other is called Lemon Bubblegum Freeze-Drying Gel and has one part freeze-drying gel and one part of the extract. These forms can be combined with gum to create gumballs. This makes them a unique product, however, since they can still be sold as separate items.
The flavor of this product depends upon what is added to it. Most of it is flavor free, although some people do notice that it tastes better if there is some sweetness added to it. You can add any flavors that you want, though they generally taste better together than separately. To add a little more sweetness, you can add some dried strawberries or vanilla ice cream. You can even dip the gum in them.
You should not put this gum into your mouth when you are chewing on something else, such as a mint chip, unless it is one that you like very much. If you do not like chewing mints, then you will not want to add them to the gum to use for strain. When adding it to a drink, add a small amount at a time, so that it does not take much of a concentrated dose for it to be effective. Adding too much may have unwanted side effects.
You can either add this product as a syrup, or you can boil some water and add it to that. Either way, try to stay away from both the syrup and the boiling water. It can sometimes cause too much irritation to your gums. Another method to using it is to add it to a small amount of water and squeeze it out, then hold it against the gums while you hold the toothbrush in between your teeth. It should not stick to your teeth, and it should leave a fine coating. You then repeat this process until you are left with very little liquid.
Since it is not a gel, some people assume that it will not harden when it is added to other foods. There have been a number of tests done with different foods where this has been successfully performed. One test, however, proved that the juice would add thickness to the hot dog and hamburger buns. The only issue is that you need to wait an hour for it to get set, and it may also cause the bun to look a bit off-color.
Lemon Gum has been found to be a very tasty and satisfying treat. Many doctors recommend its use for problems such as mouth ulcers. Its great taste is the main reason for its popularity. If you decide to give it a try, be sure to read the instructions on the back of the container very carefully. They usually vary, depending on which type of gum you buy.
