The short list
Besides the good stuff, here's what else is in there
Sugar
White Cane Sugar (plus a little brown sugar in Cinnamon) gives every syrup its smooth, balanced sweetness.
Water
Just enough to turn fresh ingredients and sugar into a pourable syrup that mixes straight into any drink.
Sorbic acid
A naturally occurring preservative that keeps mold and yeast away, so your bottle stays fresh for months.
Acacia gum
Natural sap from the acacia tree. It keeps our oil-rich flavours from separating in the bottle.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Do you use fresh ingredients or artificial flavours?
Fresh, real ingredients only. Whether it's a herb, spice, flower, fruit or root, every syrup is made with the real thing. Absolutely no artificial flavours or colours.
How long will my syrup last?
An unopened bottle lasts about 10 months. Once opened, it's good for around 6 months. Keep opened bottles in the fridge to get the most out of them.
How do I know if my syrup has gone bad?
Look for mold floating on the surface. Some flavours (Citrus, Hot Pepper, Coconut and Vanilla) are rich in natural oils, so they can separate, which is totally normal. Give the bottle a quick shake. If something floats back to the top, it's mold and the syrup should go. If nothing comes back up, you're good to pour.
Do you use preservatives?
Yes, a small amount of sorbic acid. It's a naturally occurring antimicrobial used widely in food and drinks to stop mold and yeast from growing, so your syrup stays fresh for longer.
What is acacia gum, and why is it in some syrups?
Acacia gum (also called gum arabic) is the natural hardened sap of the acacia tree. It helps oil and water stay mixed, so we add it to our oil-rich flavours (Citrus, Hot Pepper, Coconut and Vanilla) to reduce separation.
What can I use Symply Syrups for besides cocktails?
Loads. Try them in coffee, tea, lemonade, sparkling water, mocktails, desserts, baking, cheesecakes and even dipping sauces. Check out our recipes for ideas, and if you invent something new, tell us about it.
