How do I make my own syrup from concentrates? Do I add simple syrup or acids? What are typical ratios?

A common approach is:

• Start with simple syrup (sugar + water)

• Add flavor concentrate gradually (often 0.1%–0.3%)

• Adjust with citric, malic, or phosphoric acid to balance sweetness and enhance flavor

Ratios vary by flavor and application, so bench testing is essential.
