Cream chargers, also known as whip cream dispenser cartridges, are metal cylinders that contain food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O). When used with a cream siphon or dispenser, these chargers make whipped cream preparation quick, easy, and consistent.
Cream chargers can also be used to infuse syrups, alcohol, and sauces. To ensure proper and responsible handling, be sure to follow all guidelines when purchasing and disposing of your cream chargers.
Whipped Cream chargers
Whipped Cream chargers is often used to garnish hot coffee and desserts, or as a filling for pastries and cakes. It can be made quickly and easily using a whipped cream dispenser.
A set of whipped cream chargers is a must-have for anyone who loves to whip up delicious treats in the comfort of their own kitchen. These specialized canisters are filled with nitrous oxide (N2O) gas, which is subsequently activated by a sharp point on the tapered end of the charger that breaks its foil seal. Its nitrous oxide content is then released into the liquid that you wish to be whipped (ideally, cold heavy cream).
You may have noticed in your local supermarket that heavy Cream chargers and whipping cream sit side by side on the refrigerated shelf. While both can be whipped, the higher fat content of heavy cream helps to stabilize air bubbles for longer, making it easier to form soft and light peaks.
A whipped cream dispenser allows you to create the perfect, aesthetically pleasing garnish for any beverage or dish, as well as a quick alternative to store-bought whipped toppings. Whipping your own whipped cream also saves you money, as it doesn’t require expensive ingredients such as gelatin and other artificial stabilizers.
Infused Syrups
Simple syrups are the building blocks of many drinks, but they’re surprisingly versatile and fun to infuse with herbs and spices. They can be added to carbonated water, used as a sweetener in tea, drizzled on pancakes and more. They’re also useful in creating a range of alcoholic cocktails and mocktails, especially when they’re infused with fresh fruit and herbs.
The great thing about infusing simple syrups is that it’s incredibly easy to do. Infusing is simply a matter of adding flavor-rich ingredients to warm maple syrup and then allowing them to steep. There are so many options for this, from citrus peels like orange, lemon and grapefruit, to whole or ground spices like cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. And, of course, a variety of herbs are available, from citrusy mint to aromatic thyme and rosemary.
The key to the success of any infused syrup is the quality of the ingredients. Use the highest quality fruits and herbs possible to get the most delicious and aromatic results. Also, remember to choose a sweetener that will complement the ingredient you’re infusing it with. White granulated sugar is the traditional choice, but brown sugar, molasses, cane sugar and even coconut are excellent choices that will add a subtle hint of the flavor you’re infusing with them.
Alcoholic Cocktails
A cocktail is a mixed drink made with at least two ingredients, at least one of which is a distilled spirit. They are skillfully blended, shaken, or stirred to produce a well-balanced and often flavorful beverage. Cocktails may also contain mixers like juices, sodas or cream. They are often garnished with fruit or herbs to add to the enjoyment and appearance of the drink.
Alcoholic cocktails are a great way to showcase your bartender skills and to impress guests at a party or event. To create a beautiful and delicious alcoholic drink, start by using fresh high-quality ingredients and follow the recipe closely. Make sure that you use the correct ratios of ingredients and always keep the bar well stocked with ice to prevent any drinks from being watered down.

Infused Oils
Infused oils are base oil (such as sunflower or olive) that have had herbs soaked in them for an extended period of time to extract the beneficial plant compounds into the oil. They may be used to make massage oils, salves, lip balms, facial serums, hair treatments and body creams.
When making infused oils it is best to use dried herbs, as fresh plant material holds water that would allow dangerous bacteria to grow in the oil. If you use fresh plant material, the oil should be acidified to kill any bacteria present.
To create an herb infused oil, begin by washing and sanitizing the jar and lid you will be using to store your infused oil in. Then fill the jar to the brim, leaving no air space in the top as an air gap will promote spoilage. Cover and label your jar with the contents and date.
Place your jar on a sunny windowsill and shake gently daily until the herbs have infused the oil to the desired flavor. When the herbs have reached your preferred flavor intensity, strain out the leaves and discard or compost them. The infused oil can now be stored in a cool dark place and will keep for a year or more. It can also be mixed with other infused oils or essential oil to create a beneficial salve, lip balm or body butter recipe.
