I love IMBC and use Shirley's recipe - here's a link:

Her suggestion of using just half a capful of orange extract give it just a little hint of citrus flavor - really good. I haven't tried anything else yet but I think almond or even other extracts or even a few drops of the Lorann oils would be really good.

I use IMBC and I always add extra vanilla. I LOVE IMBC, but just think the extra extract improves it even more.
