To use, simply pour the syrup directly over your desired food or beverage. For drinks, you can mix it with water, soda, or other liquids to create custom flavored beverages.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the syrup in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
