At Southwell Sugar Shack maple syrup isn’t just for pancakes—it’s a staple in our kitchen that we use in a variety of ways! Over the years we’ve discovered some delicious ways to sweeten our favorite drinks with the rich, natural flavor of maple syrup. Whether you’re looking for a cozy morning drink, a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up, or a unique twist on a classic, these six drinks will have you reaching for your bottle of maple syrup again and again!
1. Coffee
Ditch the processed sugar and artificial syrups—maple syrup is the perfect natural sweetener for your morning coffee. Adding a tablespoon or two of pure maple syrup to your hot coffee brings a smooth sweetness with a hint of maple flavor that leaves behind those harmful chemicals of other sweeteners. Try it in your everyday brewed coffee or take your morning tradition up a notch with our Maple Latte recipe!
2. Tea
Whether you love a bold black tea, a light sweet tea, or a cozy herbal blend, maple syrup pairs beautifully with each of them! It enhances the natural flavors of the tea without overpowering them or bringing unwanted chemicals found in artificial sweeteners. Try our Cinnamon Maple Chai Latte, Maple Oolong Milk Tea, or our Maple Iced Tea recipe!
3. Smoothies
Smoothies are an easy and delicious way to get a quick boost of protein and nutrients--and a splash of maple syrup makes them even better!
