USING SYRUPS

Use Syrups With More Confidence.

Simple guidance on flavour, quantity and application across everyday beverages.

THE BASICS

Start With the Right Building Blocks.

Four basics make syrup easier to use across different drinks.

01 — FLAVOUR

Know the profile.

Understand whether the syrup is fruity, floral, citrusy, rich or spiced.

02 — QUANTITY

Start light.

Add less first, then build gradually until the flavour feels clear.

03 — BASE

Match the base.

Tea, coffee, milk, soda and water all change how flavour is perceived.

04 — BALANCE

Taste the whole drink.

Sweetness should support the serve, not overpower the other ingredients.
