Tips
1. The amount of sugar, flavour and acid used may be adjusted to your preference, amounts quoted are
suggested usage levels. Addition of too much flavour however will result in a bitter taste.
2. Sodium Benzoate is added as a preservative. You can add up to four times the recommended amount of
sodium benzoate. This will increase the shelf life, but may also result in a chemical after taste in your
product.
3. Treatment of water, boiling of sugar and prompt refrigeration will increase shelf life of your product.
4. The appearance of a white stringy substance indicates bacterial growth, it is especially noticeable in the
lighter coloured drinks, such as pineapple, (it may be present but not noticeable in darker coloured and clear
drinks). If this occurs the above recommendations should be employed.
5. For best results flavours should be used within six months of purchase and should be stored in a cool
place in full bottles.
6. For small batches (5 or 6 Gallon) a 100 ml measuring cylinder is very useful for accurate measuring. See
below for a list of suppliers.
