things people ask

• How much sugar is in a teaspoon of fruit syrup?
  Roughly 4.5 to 5 g of sugar sits in a teaspoon (~6.96 g total) of typical fruit syrup, since these products run 65-70 percent sugar by weight. That's a little more than a teaspoon of granulated sugar, which lands around 4 g. Useful to know if you're swapping fruit syrup into a recipe that already accounts for sweetener.
• Can I use a teaspoon of fruit syrup to sweeten iced tea?
  Yes — one teaspoon (~7 g) per twelve-ounce glass adds light fruit character without making the tea cloying. Raspberry and blackcurrant work especially well with black tea; grenadine pairs better with green or herbal blends. Stir while the tea is still warm if possible, since cold liquid takes longer to integrate the dense syrup and you'll get sweetness pooling at the bottom.
• How do I dose fruit syrup by the teaspoon for a cocktail tweak?
  When a finished drink tastes too dry or astringent, a single teaspoon (~7 g) is the smallest correction worth making — anything less gets lost. Stir, taste, then add another half-teaspoon if needed. Going straight to a tablespoon often overshoots, especially with grenadine, where the pomegranate-cherry note is loud at any dose above 10 g per drink.
