Has anyone tried using Monin flavored syrups in homemade sports drinks? It is primarily cane sugar. Thinking about trying it with maltodextrin. They have virtually unlimited flavors, and its relatively inexpensive.
Any thoughts?
Good shout given that I just received a little stocking stuffer set of them for Xmas and don’t otherwise anticipate using them literally ever!
Found this while searching for wondering “why aren’t people using the sugary coffee flavor syrups” for their DIY drinks.
30 ml has 24 g of cane sugar. Yeah - maybe not the exact 1:0.8 g/f ratio, but close enough for a mid-pack cyclist…If you go by the Saturday app which just uses plain sugar for their speed juice, it just seems to fit pretty well.
I’ve done this a couple of times and haven’t had problems, but no extensive/extreme usage yet - curious if I am missing something that this is not a great idea (over some kind of flavor crystals, honey, maple syrup, etc… that I see mentioned).
