Your indulgent antidote to rich meals

After the Christmas feast, your body craves a break. The goal is not to abandon pleasure, but to find balance with light, digestive and soothing drinks.

Forget heavy chocolates: with Syrra syrups, you can create infusions, spritzes or light lattes that offer a sweet break without guilt. Here are our three simple recipes for a light cure between celebrations.

3 light and digestive drinks

We focus here on syrups that bring a note of freshness, acidity or lightness to contrast with the rich flavours of winter.

1) The "FreshMintSparkle" — The digestive effect

Profile : Fresh and lively mint. Perfect for refreshing the palate and aiding digestion after a large meal.

Light Express Ideas (Non-Alcoholic)

  • Express Lemonade : 20 ml mint syrup, 200 ml of sparkling water, a slice of lime. (Ultra-simple and refreshing).

  • Flavoured Green Tea : 15 ml syrup in 200 ml of hot green tea (cold contrasts with the tea).

  • Fresh Yogurt : 10 ml syrup on plain yogurt, topped with a few mint leaves.

  • Quick Rice Pudding : 150 g of warm rice pudding, 15 ml syrup, cinnamon (A small dessert that doesn't weigh you down).

Slimming and Sweetness Tips

  • Plant-Based Milk : Use almond or oat milk, which is naturally lighter than whole milk, for your lattes.

  • Water Base : For maximum lightness, the best way is to base your drink on sparkling water or an infusion. The Syrra syrup does the rest.

  • Warm Drinks : Between parties, warm or room temperature drinks are easier to digest than iced or piping hot drinks.

Express Lightness FAQ

  • Does the syrup contain too much sugar? Syrra syrups are less sweet and more concentrated than traditional syrups. You use less product for the same taste!

  • Can I mix Mint and Mango? Yes! A 50/50 mix in a large amount of sparkling water creates a very fresh and complex mocktail.

  • Is vanilla digestive? Yes, vanilla, when combined with tea or hot milk, has soothing properties.
