I tend to use warm water for rich simple - heat water FIRST, then add the sugar - avoids transitioning the sugars. And for flavored simples (cinnamon, as well as Celery Seed, tarragon, etc), I simmer the flavoring ingredient in water (bring to simmer, let rest a couple hours; bring to simmer again and let rest a couple more hours; strain/filter out the flavoring solids, THEN add the sugar to the warmed, flavor water - again avoids transitioning the sugars - also a LOT less messy to strain/filter). Finally, I've been experimenting with oleo-saccharum variations - for example, chopping 2 ox fresh sage into dime-size pieces, them simply adding to one cup sugar and muddling every few hours while leaving overnight, THEN adding (very) warm water and shaking. post-filtering this mixture is a bit messier, but it avoids the nasty "tea" flavors that can come from simmering some leaf products.

If you are pouring a warm or hot liquid into a jar... to help stop the jar from breaking - use a warm jar. I also personally suggest to use a sterilised jar. I put mine through a dishwasher just before use then fill with Miltons solution using warm to hot water and rinse well with boiling water. The jar is still warm when I pour the warm liquids in.

I love when I can find recipes / ratios that are shelf-stable. I like to have more rich syrups and cordials, and experiment with dialing back the other flavors to maintain balance as needed, and add diluted Everclear if I wish to up the proof. The richer syrups just have so much more flavor and require LESS of said syrup when making the drink, so it cuts down on the rate I go thru them without adding extra effort. AND they save room in my fridge, which translates to room for more wine ;) Keep this type of video up Leandro! Also maybe do a video on some combo-syrups where you use 1 or 2 different things to create a new type, like Cucumber-Mint or Celery-Basil, both of which I have messed around with for fun Martini riffs 👌

When I wanted to make my own grenadine, I found that every recipe I found told me to add pomegranate molasses with the assumption that it was just easy to come by, but I had a really hard time finding it, and when I did it was stupid expensive. You can make your own, however, for very cheap. Add 1 cup of fresh pomegranate juice to a pot with 2 Tbsp of sugar and 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice, and aggressively reduce, by a factor of 4 or even more. ie, you started with over 1 cup of liquid and should end up with around 1/4 cup of molasses. Put it in your grenadine, or it's great on pancakes or salads!

Pro tip: try 1.5 to 1 simple syrup. It’s just as shelf stable but not as thick so it flows well and most importantly it’s much more consistent than 2:1. The sugar in 2:1 simple syrup will re-crystallize unless you also add gum arabica even if you keep it in warm temperatures. When sugar re-crystallizes you’re left with a less sweet syrup than you originally made and it’ll throw your off cocktail ratios.
@LeeDanielCrocker Жыл бұрын
You can also stop crystallization by adding a bit of invert sugar to the mix.

Quick question about the cinnamon syrup: If you don't want to infuse the syrup for too long (because otherwise it'll get too "cinnamony"), would the result be the same if you simply use less cinnamon to begin with, and let it infuse for longer than the 12 hours? Or would it yield a different taste in the end?

To add to the "How is Coconut Cream Made" confusion....I have also read that both Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk are made by simmering shredded coconut meat in water, letting the solution rest and separate into two layers, the upper layer skimmed off and called "Coconut Cream", the lower layer called "Coconut Milk". However I have also come across sites that state Coconut "Cream" is made with a 4:1 ratio of shredded meat to water while Coconut "Milk" is made with a 1:1 ratio. The "separation" method makes more sense for me in that it will have a higher fat content relative to the other components the coconut brings, and as with cow cream and milk, the "cream" is a product separated from the "milk".
