Has anyone tried making there own syrups they can be quite interesting especially when you shy away from the commercial flavours and create them from your own ingredients without artificial additives etc.
I once made a rose syrup and a macadamia syrup , good flavours used in very small quantities to enhance an espresso shot can be quite interesting, mixed in with all the milk they just overpower and the coffee is lost. With a high grade coffee they can be very interesting( with the focus on the coffee and just a subtle hint of the flavour).........I dont demo these on customers, just a friend lol ,got a few ideas for barista comps next year....back to the lab :-X making your own is so much better though especially when it tastes good.
have a raid of the cupboard and the spice rack if you feel like playing......remember subtle is the key. This has got me inspired again!, that an the 7 boags pures and 2 drambuies ive just necked.
