Description
Strawberry Flavoured Syrup, or “Strawberry Syrup” as locally called, is a favourite among Jamaicans.
Many of us can remember our snow cone or shaved ice dripping with this bright red syrup. Jamaican Products reminds you it was also used to add flavour to water, rum punch and other juices and even as a fruit topping on whatever you can imagine.
Strawberry Flavoured Syrup is the perfect ingredient to help add a rich and fruity strawberry flavour to sweet treat recipes. This applied to whether making desserts, milkshakes, ice cream, cocktails or flavoured drinks.
