every Friday I like to get my coffee syrups ready for the next week so I’m going to show you how to make these three this week I’m making a strawberry orange and banana syrup not Allin one that is but three different fruit syrups now with most fruits I’m not a big fan of cooking them down into syrups with heat you lose a lot of the flavor that needs to be present to cut through coffee and you also end up with this sort of Jammy stewed flavor that doesn’t really feel representative of the fruit so instead all of these syrups are made using a 1:1 ratio of a basic ingredient to sugar left to extract overnight as the sugar slowly dissolves and draws out the moisture and oils in the case of the orange this syrup is called in oo sacrum literally meaning oil and sugar the other fruit syrups are similar to a Korean Chong regardless whatever you’re using make sure it’s clean increase its surface area by giving it a rough chop and then cover it with equal parts Sugar by weight give it 8 to 12 hours and then strain out the most vibrant fresh syrup you can imagine if you want to learn even more about syrups you can read about it on my blog and as always Sip and enjoy whatever you make [Music]

  1. I was gonna say, this seems like a remarkably similar technique to one I've seen a Korean with a British accent known for a cute cat and fermenting stuff use to make syrups.

  2. My family used to make the strawberries soaked in sugar (add a tiny bit of water just to get the process going). We put them in the fridge and the next day you could enjoy cold strawberries soaked in syrup and it was so good. I added more water just to get more "juice". Since summer is upon us, I highly recommend it!

  3. I just made syrups (orange and banana, separate) for the first time and I’m feeling so fancy and proud of it! Thank you so much!

  4. I know that the world is to expensive for this to be realistic, but when the price of everything goes down please don't by Driscoll's, the company has literally murdered countless people and runs on essentially slave labor

  5. I just stumbled on your page, but rest assured, I shall be back! I love coffee, and I want to experiment more, so I'm excited to be here!

  6. Has anyone tried this method in bulk for cafes? I know the ideal cheong is 1 week of soaking, but that doesn’t feel viable for bulk prep. Would the 8-12 hours be a sufficient maceration? I’ll have some experimenting to do!

  7. Just "started" our first batch tonight using fresh blackberries. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out! Anyone know what the expected shelf life for these homemade syrups are? TIA
