Coffee with syrup: types of syrup and method of preparation

Despite the many ways of preparation, sometimes the taste of coffee in its pure form can become boring even for true gourmets. To diversify the taste palette, baristas around the world began to experiment with various additives: from milk and cinnamon to sweet syrups and strong alcohol. Therefore, if you want something unusual, be sure to try coffee with one of the syrups.

Coffee with syrup is a popular choice among young people, as the usual cappuccino and latte no longer inspire enthusiasm. We recommend trying natural coffee with syrup for all lovers of special drinks.

In what proportions should syrup be added?

Remember that some coffee additives are too sweet. So, do not forget about the proportions, so as not to spoil the taste of the drink. The amount of syrup depends on the volume of the coffee itself: if it is espresso, add a teaspoon of syrup, if the glass volume is more than 200 ml, you can increase the amount of syrup to 5 spoons, and if you are preparing a coffee cocktail, feel free to add 6-7 spoons.

Be sure to note that each syrup contains a different percentage of fructose, which affects its sweetness. It is difficult to say how much syrup to add to coffee, so the best advice is to experiment. First, add a spoonful of syrup and taste the drink: if it is not sweet enough, you can add more.

Coffee with syrup is a tasty drink, but it is better not to drink it often. The thing is that syrups are high in calories. 100 ml of syrup contains about 200-300 calories.

Nutritionists recommend that lovers of this drink limit themselves to 1-2 cups of the drink per day (unless, of course, you don’t want consequences for your health and figure).
