Missing this one?

These make a variation. They change the flavour, and sometimes the strength. Your bar still uses the exact recipe.

• Demerara syrup (1:1)

  Start with the same amount. Use the same 1:1 concentration. Adds a light caramel flavor and some color.

• Honey syrup (1:1)

  Start with the same amount. A floral variation with a different sweetness. Start here, then taste. Not vegan.
