As the summer time finally approaches, coffee lovers and cafe guests alike will be looking for refreshing, flavorful options to cool down.  

If you’re a coffee shop or café owner, now’s the time to rethink your summer drink menu — and syrups are the secret ingredient you need. When the good weather hit's takeaway and outside sipping is the norm, so marginalising on those drinks are a must. 

From elevating matcha to crafting irresistible iced coffees and spritz-style lemonades, syrups can transform your summer offerings and boost your bottom line. Here’s why adding syrups to your menu is a smart move this season:

Level Up Your Matcha Game

Matcha is already a popular choice for the younger demographic and healthy conscious customers, but adding syrups can take it to the next level.

A touch of sweetness helps balance matcha’s natural earthiness, creating a smoother, more approachable taste.

Pair with;

• Vanilla Matcha Latte – A splash of vanilla syrup enhances the creamy texture and complements matcha’s grassy notes.
• Strawberry Iced Matcha- The sweet strawberry pairs perfectly with matcha and creates a more smoother drink. *Recipe dropped in your emails

Adding syrups gives you the flexibility to create unique flavor combinations that set your matcha offerings apart from competitors.

Syrups are a versatile way to keep your regulars happy and offer them something more exciting.
