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.
