What is flavoured syrup?

As the name suggests these syrups are flavoured either naturally or artificially with the essence of fruits or plants. It is a densely thick, sweet liquid that is the end result of having boiled water, dissolved sugar and the naturally extracted juice of fruits or plants. Flavoured syrup is purely used for adding both colour and flavour to a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. From coconut to toasted marshmallow, orange raspberry to minty lime... the choice of single and dual flavoured syrups is vast and can be used creatively in the kitchen.

• The bottle or cans should be checked for its manufacturing and expiry dates.
• Any signs of spoilage, bubbling, leakage or rusting (in case of metallic cans) should be a clear indication of what not to purchase.
