Ever had one of those moments where you realize you’ve been skipping over the most important part? That happened to me recently. I just finished writing about how to make an almond latte, but then it hit me… what about the almond syrup? It’s the real base of the flavor. In other words, the thing…
With so many flavors and variations, it’s easy to skip over some truly delicious ones. That happened to me here on Coffee Voilà. I’ve shared recipes for all kinds of drinks, but I realized I forgot to mention one I make from time to time. And honestly, it’s one of my favorites. Probably because I’ve…
You know, I’ve spent the past month focusing on coffee syrups. From tasting, testing, and writing about everything from classic vanilla to seasonal pumpkin spice. But somewhere along the way, I started wondering… what about people who want all that flavor without the sugar crash? Are there actually good sugar-free options out there? Ones that…
This week has been all about sugar-free syrups. Earlier, I shared my take on a rich and buttery Caramel Syrup, and now I’ve got hazelnut on my mind. One problem I keep running into with store-bought sugar-free hazelnut, especially from the less reputable brands, but sometimes even the big names, is that the flavor can…
You know how it goes, you find a syrup you like, use it twice, and then it sits in the back of the cupboard collecting dust. Either the flavor’s too one-note, too artificial, or doesn’t work with half the drinks you thought it would. That’s why picking the right ones from a massive lineup like…
Ever feel like you’re missing out on all the coffee fun just because you’re skipping sugar? This past month or so, I’ve been knee-deep in syrup testing. I mean, bottles everywhere, sticky notes all over my counter, and plenty of taste-testing “research” for Coffee Voilà. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was overlooking…
A few weeks back, I put together a full guide on how to make the classic recipe with sugar, and it was a hit. But I haven’t forgotten about the folks who either can’t have sugar or don’t want the crash that comes with it. I get it! Sometimes you want all that warm, fragrant…
Have you ever wished your morning coffee tasted like it came straight from a café? One of the brands that’s never let me down is Torani, for so many reasons. I still remember the first time I tried their caramel syrup in a homemade latte. It was like flipping a switch from “just coffee” to…
Anaerobic Coffee surprised the heck out of me the first time I tried it. I was reading a post online about experimental coffee processing methods when someone mentioned a brand called September Coffee Co. and how wild their flavors were. I was looking for something different, something that didn’t taste like my usual medium roast…
Struggling to sweeten cold drinks without the gritty mess? I’ve been there. So let’s talk about the most basic fix—simple syrup. It’s one of those kitchen staples that seems fancy until you try it. And then you’re like… wait, that’s it? The first time I decided to make simple syrup at home, I was shocked…
