Add the same amount by weight of sugar you had milk and blend at high speed for one minute to dissolve the sugar.

For grenadine use oleum technic, it's something special... Nice video by the way!

[seanpannebaker]

I've made several syrups so far. Rich simple, demerara, grenadine, honey, cinnamon, apricot, and cranberry. While I was one of those people that thought the rich simple was shelf stable, I do keep mine in the refrigerator to help prolong the life. Great video as always! Cheers!

[Runge_was_here]

Perfect timing! Pomegranates are on sale and I needed a recipe for grenadine actually using the fruit. 😂 Cheers dude 🍻

[julioriviera]

Love the new overhead shot for needed ingredients. ❤

[moongoosemcqueen]

Thank for this, looking forward to trying these

[DirtyHairy]

I really enjoy these syrups episodes! 😃👍

[calebloewen]

Another incredibly helpful video! Your content is so inspiring for me.
Where did you get the Grenadine bottle from?

[nerdybartender]

Great video! You should do a Tiki specific syrup episode; include the Orgest and grenadine again, Falernum, Ginger syrup, Demerara Syrup, etc. BTW, I really love the bottle you keep the gum syrup in, where did you get that?

[shreyassawant]

Where did you get the bottle for gum syrup?

[graceb]

Is there a recipe for the pomegranate molasses?

[JohnLee-ypgr]

Hey, always thanks for the great video. Watching the contents you make every now and then gives me very much motivation in the cocktails.❤ But I have a question. In the sous vide version you added only 8g of arabic gum, but in this version you added 22.5g of arabic gums. Although in the other video the syrup was 150/75 syrup and this time it's 180/90, why is the portion of the arabic gum so different?

[Brittoodles]

I have never tried gum syrup in a old fashioned before. I might try it now! Thanks for the recipes!
Where did you get that amazing bottle that sits in the concrete? So cool!

[madishkaperera]

What the shelf life of granadine syrup?

[hiddenhaven]

Hi, great video! Is the fridge life of the grenadine also 2-3 weeks, or shorter because it's not heated?

[yasminasalas]

What do you do when pomegranates are not in season? What alternatives do you recommend?

[cgotterba]

great guides!

One question (and it maybe a stupid one!) I have is about making these is what is the ballpark yield in volume? I understand the importance by making it by weight, but I'd still want a sense of how much I'm going to be making. Say my bottle is 500ml - what portion of each ingredient is going get me about that amount?

[psammiad]

What's the shelf life of the gomme syrup?

[Dmahh]

When shopping for bitter almond extract, is that the same thing as pure almond extract, or is bitter a specific type of almond extract?

[sefraisik]

I could drink this Orgeat syrup straight like this!!! Sooo freaking good!! 🖤
