STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL BEVERAGES
Sweeten it with Sugar Syrup!
How to make your own Sugar Syrup
1. Sweetening Beverages (See recipe below:) Use a *sugar syrup for sweetening, since a syrup gives smoothness not obtained with granulated sugar. In the summertime it is well to keep a covered jar of it in the refrigerator.
2. Blending when making drinks: When combining two or more fruit juices or beverages, always have one predominate in flavor.
3. Ripening: Store the combined mixture in the refrigerator for at least half hour or longer to improve the flavors. Add soda-pop carbonated flavor just before serving.
4. Serving: Serve well chilled. When possible use ice cubes made of the predominate fruit flavor. If plain ice cubes are used, allow for dilution of melting ice.
