🍹 Flavour and use
-

-
Usage: Dilute the syrup with water — the recommended ratio is, for example, 1 part syrup to 8 (or more) parts water, according to taste.
-
The resulting drink is a classic homemade lemonade without bubbles (if you use sparkling water, you’ll get a gently fizzy drink).
-
It is also suitable for use in cocktails or drinks with ice or lemon to enhance the flavour.
-
Syrups in this range are normally stored at room temperature after opening and should be consumed within 4 weeks.

💡 Tips

It’s best served chilled — add ice and perhaps a slice of lemon or some mint.
-
If you’re watching your sugar intake, increase the amount of water when diluting (e.g. 1:10 or 1:12).
-
You can also use sparkling water for a refreshing fizzy lemonade.
