What we should know:

There are differences in ingredients between brands. We should know what we want to use the syrup for. Recipes of coffee drinks are written for specific syrups, which means one brand cannot be used in place of another one. Less dense syrups are recommended for shakes, while denser products are ideal if we want them to flow through the drink slowly. It is important that syrups intended for coffee drinks should not contain too much sugar. Good quality syrups for hot drinks tend to emphasise the natural aroma of coffee and chocolate and do not alter the acid content.
