Boiling a kilo of tigers currently after a 48 hour soak. How long do/have people left them to steep for? I did it years ago but left them a day or two before using them but I'm going to soak them in condensed milk before use. Just not entirely sure how long for. At what point would they turn beyond use?
Thanks

Why soak them in condensed milk? They have enough of their own sugary gloopiness.
Have a search for TCarpers prep method

Condensed milk is an odd choice. They are great without anything extra. Personally I use brown sugar to boost the gloop levels and sweetness.
just trying something different, see if it works. i've added brown sugar when soaking and boiling and was gonna leave them in that a day or two

The tip I've been given for tigers is to soak them in full fat coke. Nit tried it yet as nuts are banned on my syndicates but if I do use them again in the future I will definitely give that a try

Once they have cooled down I bag them up with a bit of the boiled juices, they work fine like this.

Surely it's not a case of how long will the tigers be useable for, but how long until the condensed milk goes off and potentially works against you.

i cant see how tigers would soak up condensed milk, its too viscous

I was hoping with the water they're steeping in it would thin out a bit but I guess that depends on how gloopy the water is. It was mainly going to be for the cloud of attraction I imagine it would cause

Soaked for 2 days, boiled for 45 minutes and been sat in that water for a couple of days now, was just gonna add the milk to the bucket and mix it through

your tigers wont be able to hold anything else post boiling mate.
If anything, id water the milk down add soak the tigers in that, then once boiled up, just add the liquid back in to keep them wet.
Ive never really been a massive fan of changing the tigers profile by adding various things. in saying that i do the following
soak in coca cola and 500grms of glucose (per 1kg tigers) for 48 hrs
removed tigers from soaking liquid and store
Boil
Drain
add glucose/cola liquid when tigers are luke warm

Is there a reason you don't boil the tigers in the solution of cola and glucose ? Is it plain water you boil them in ?
