A Tasty Syrup (+ Mix) You Can Make At HOME 🍊

Here’s a homemade syrup you can use for PVA sticks, spod mix or over boilies.

I’ve had a bit of fun in the kitchen and created my own citrus syrup with simple ingredients like oranges and condensed milk. For added attractiveness, I’ve added some honey and alcohol. It’s really easy to make, versatile and perfect for those tough early season conditions.

There’s loads of different spod syrups and mixes available these days but what could be more fun than designing and making your own and catching carp on it right? The principles of this basic recipe can be tweaked and adjusted to create a variety of different syrups. If you have a secret ingredient you’re happy to share, let me know in the comments!

If you’d like to see what I’ve been catching using this recipe, just follow me on the usual social media channels 🙂

Brilliant I have been playing about with bits and pieces for the last 25 years enjoy doing this, just as much as going fishing

What an interesting and enlightening video Matt! Such a tonic from all of the tiresome product sales and sponsored led content from many carp videographers. Brilliant! May I suggest a follow up to this with a video detailing your results over the period you are using this method? Cheers, Gary Baker.

I happened to watch this on the day it went out and made the sirup right away. Couple days later i caught my first ever winter carp 4.6 kg on a tutti frutti pop up using the most simple rig with the mainline and a hook beat that Matt showed in another video. Keep on the good stuff mate.

Matt, I really appreciate your inspiration to try something new! Materials that you have at home anyway or that are easy to get, plus the great feeling of having made everything yourself, that's fantastic! After watching this video with some delay, I immediately started making my own syrup last night. As I didn't have any oranges, I used a lemon, I also mixed in Aperol. Smells great and I will try it out at the end of next week. The water is still terribly cold, so the carp are showing very little activity. I just bought two oranges and got myself some Cointreau.... Sweetened condensed milk is now the only ingredient I don't have, but that's no big deal.
Thanks again for this great inspiration, Matt!
Cheers Alex

Just made some of this but with lemon and lime zest it smells brilliant

[seabassmastermatt]

Inspiring Matt!! Please follow up with some crêpes and a Cointreau flambé. Much appreciated. Surely a bite, looking forward to seeing the results. 🧡

I find your channel last week let's just say you're my new favourite

[Berealwith]

Brilliant video Matthew, I wouldn't trust anyone else more than you, as your a real thinker and think things out that make lots of sense. I will defo try these Syrup's as I have been making my own boilies for years. I do however have a question, I would like to try salt in the mix and wondered how much, how to add Himalayan Rock Salt to the syrup as to make the mix sweet/sour ? any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

bonjour Matthew, bravo super ta chaine que je viens de decouvrir aujourd hui.Encore bravo 🤩👍👏

[vnkrichards]

Looks like carp will get diabetes or something! 😂 Amazing video! 🙏❤️

[Steve-kgwd]

Great video once again, thanks Matt 👍

I'm trying some different baits this year, one of them has an orange flavour so this might just compliment it nicely. Although i'm going to try a 2:1 mix of breadcrumb and tiger nut powder, and use honey instead of sugar when i knock it up. 35 years ago I was often found to be raiding my nans cupboard mixing up some bizarre concoctions, fish paste and strawberry jam was one i remember doing much to her dismay. I even managed to rope her in to helping me roll boilies by hand a few times!

[Jay-wzjd]

Just made some will let you no how I do have to say it tastes fantastic

[bigskangster]

Looks delicious. Where do you plan to go fishing? I might go snorkeling a bit.

Just a little note to the side. At least in Germany the orange shells are normally coming with pesticides on the zest. You need to look for the Bio ones to eat them

very good watch - off to the kitchen (once the mrs goes out ....)

[mrwaybill]

Once again a very thought provoking video 👍
