Orange Syrup

Orange syrup is a thick, sweet concentrate made from orange juice, sugar, and optionally orange zest or natural flavourings. It is used to prepare drinks, simply dilute with water, sparkling water, or add to tea. In the kitchen, it is a great ingredient for desserts, drizzled over cakes, pancakes, or fruit salads. It also works well in cocktails, iced coffee, or as a sweetener in dressings. A homemade version is prepared by simmering orange juice with sugar, and grated zest can be added for a more intense flavour. Commercially produced syrups may contain natural or artificial colourings.
