Instructions

Notes
Simmer briefly for a lighter syrup or one minute longer for a richer texture without overcooking. Chill completely before preparing iced beverages. Handle gently while assembling layered drinks for the best presentation. Customize with almond extract, cinnamon, or cocoa. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to one month and shake before each use.
