From beverages to pancakes, syrups are a great way to drizzle a generous amount of flavour over your preparations.
Be it soda, juices, cocktails, mocktails, breakfast cereals, fruits, or yoghurt – syrups have the potential to make everything a tad bit sweeter. Adding a splash of syrup can render even a plain cup of Joe extra special. These syrups not only make your dishes sweet but also help add a diverse flavour boost when infused with fruit and herb concoctions, milk beverages, and even alcoholic drinks. While the basic recipe remains the same, syrups are now available in a whole range of flavours – from chocolate, caramel to fruits and more. To help you create flavourful delicacies, we have compiled a list of the syrups we love and recommend.
