Drink ideas
- Still water: the everyday option; works with every flavour.
- Sparkling water: gives a soda-style drink. With a sparkling water maker, carbonate first, then add the syrup, otherwise it can foam.
- Iced tea style: Peach Iced Tea or Lemon Iced Tea in cold water with ice. All ZERUP flavours, including the iced teas, are caffeine-free according to LUVA.
- Flavoured ice cubes: freeze water with syrup and add the cubes to plain water.
- Mix two flavours: for example Mango with Dragonfruit Passionfruit, 2 ml each.
ZERUP is made for cold drinks, not for heating or baking.
