Dutch Syrups And Cordials

Dutch syrups and cordials are sweet, concentrated liquids typically made by dissolving sugar in water and infusing the mixture with various flavours such as fruits, herbs, and spices. One of the most famous Dutch syrups is "stroop," a thick, treacle-like syrup often used in baking and as a topping for pancakes. Cordials, or "limonadesiroop," are fruit-flavoured concentrates mixed with water to create refreshing beverages. The production of these syrups and cordials involves simmering the ingredients to extract their flavours, followed by straining and bottling. They are enjoyed in a variety of ways, from culinary uses to being mixed in drinks.
