Dutch Bros is a popular coffee chain known for its wide array of flavored syrups that customers can add to their drinks.

Instructions
Basic Brew: Start with the basics. For each syrup, you’ll need 1 cup of water and 1 cup of a granulated sugar substitute. Thanks to the magic of modern food science, options like erythritol, xylitol, or stevia have got you covered.
Mix & Mingle: In a medium saucepan, whisk together water and your chosen sugar substitute over a medium flame. Keep stirring until they’re fully entwined and the granules have vanished.
Flavor Fiesta: Once your sweetener has dissolved, here’s where the fun begins. Stir in 1 teaspoon of your flavoring choice (more if you’re feeling bold) and a pinch of salt – it’s the secret handshake in the syrup world.
Cool It: Take it off the heat and let that potion cool down because patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to syrup.
Tips & Tricks:
Taste-Test Like a Pro: Not all sugar substitutes are created equal. Some are sweeter than sweet, others, not so much. Start small with the flavoring, taste, and then add more if you’re craving that extra punch.
Storage Smarts: Bottle up your syrupy creations and pop them in the fridge. They’ll keep up to two weeks, but who are we kidding? They’ll be gone before you know it!
Layer Up: Feeling experimental? Mix and match syrups to create your own signature blends. Chocolate raspberry latte, anyone?
Keep It Clean: Cleanliness is next to godliness, especially in syrup-making. Ensure your bottles and pans are squeaky clean to keep things fresh.
What to serve with
Slinging these syrups isn’t just about jazzing up your java. Oh no, my friend, it’s a whole other level of fun when you think outside the coffee cup. So, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of what to serve with these sweet sensations.
First off, let’s talk about the morning buzz. We’re big fans of the classic: coffee. Splash in your sugar-free syrup of choice to your cold brew, iced latte, or that steamy mug of black gold. Watch as that white chocolate bliss or caramel charm dances with your caffeine, creating a breakfast beverage that sings a sweet, guilt-free melody.
But why stop at coffee? These syrups aren’t one-trick ponies. Drizzle that vanilla vigor or hazelnut harmony over a bowl of oatmeal or Greek yogurt. It’s like your spoon hits the jackpot with every bite. And pancakes? Please, they beg for some syrup action – a dollop of raspberry razzmatazz will make those flapjacks flip out with flavor.
Now, transitioning smoothly from breakfast – let’s chat smoothies. Do you want to talk about a match made in heaven? Pair that perfect peach or kicky coconut syrup with your fruit and veggie blends. Suddenly, your smoothie isn’t just healthy; it’s a rock star on a world tour of tastiness.
