Yes, you can put golden syrup in coffee. It adds a rich, sweet flavor similar to brown sugar or demerara sugar.
Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored sugar syrup made from refined sugar. Its distinct flavor makes it a viable alternative to other sweeteners in coffee.
Here's what to consider:
- Flavor Profile: Expect a rich, caramel-like sweetness. It may subtly alter the coffee's inherent taste.
- Consistency: Golden syrup is viscous. You may need to stir it thoroughly to ensure it dissolves completely, especially in cold coffee.
- Amount: Start with a small amount (e.g., 1/2 teaspoon) and adjust to your preference. Its sweetness can be quite potent.
- Alternatives: If you find golden syrup too strong, consider lighter syrups like simple syrup or agave nectar. Brown sugar and demerara sugar also offer similar flavor profiles.
Using golden syrup in coffee is a matter of personal taste. Experiment with the quantity to discover your preferred level of sweetness and flavor.
