Le Sirupier de Berne Café chaï Barista Syrup
Cardamom, cloves, star anise and pepper give this blend its warm, spicy character.

This oriental-inspired composition is one of the most versatile creations in the Le Sirupier de Berne range. Café chaï is classically suitable for sweetening coffee, tea or warm milk. It is also perfectly suited for winter desserts and festive creations.

The inspiration for this syrup came during a department store visit by creative director Mathias Wirth junior. An intense scent of spices led him to a man from Sri Lanka who was freshly grinding his own spiced coffee blend. That is why this barista syrup bears the name Café chaï, even though it contains no coffee.

Dilution
Dilute the syrup with water according to your preference, still or sparkling, hot or cold. As a basic recipe, we recommend a mixing ratio of 1:7 to 1:10.

Usage instructions
The syrup is ideal for seasoning sauces and dishes. In oriental cuisine, the barista varieties Cannelle and Café chaï provide an unmistakable taste. They are suitable for flavoring couscous and hummus as well as for marinating meat such as lamb shoulder or chicken breast, combined with paprika.

Shake well before use and store properly.

All products from Le Sirupier de Berne are produced naturally. Therefore, cloudiness can occur, also known in Bernese German as "Schlirgge". After a short, vigorous shake, the syrup becomes clear again.

These natural changes do not affect taste or quality. On the contrary, they show that no additives are used. The minimum shelf life of the syrups is one year.

Mixing and blending
For mixed drinks with carbonation, beer, prosecco or similar drinks, we recommend stirring the syrup first. This preserves the bubbles and the desired "fizz".

For drinks and cocktails, the syrups can be used undiluted and mixed in directly.
