We all love a splash of caramel or vanilla coffee syrup in our morning brew, but what if we told you those little bottles of bliss can sweeten the deal in many-a-drink?

From iced pick-me-ups to cocktails worthy of a clink, we’re stirring up inspiration to take your syrup game to the next level.

How to use coffee syrups in your cold brews

When it comes to coffee syrups, your morning coffee drinks are a great place to start, but why stop at a splash in your latte?

Let’s talk iced coffee. On warm days (or let’s be honest, year-round for some of us), cold brew and iced coffees hit different. They’re refreshing, customisable, and practically made for flavoured syrups.

A few ice cubes, your favourite milk, and a swirl of syrup? Perfection in a glass.

Top tips

• Add your syrup first – it blends better before the milk or ice go in.

• For extra chill, freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes to help maintain the flavour and avoid watering it down.

Try these flavour combos

• Caramel syrup + chilled cold brew + oat milk: Pour cold brew over ice, add 1–2 pumps of caramel syrup, top with oat milk, and stir for a creamy, café-style iced latte.

• Vanilla coffee syrup + double shot of espresso + ice + dash of cream: Shake together for a smooth iced espresso.

• Hazelnut syrup + strong brewed coffee, cooled + ice + milk: Stir in hazelnut syrup while the coffee is still warm, then chill, pour over ice, and add milk for a nutty take on an iced Americano-meets-latte hybrid.

How to use coffee syrups to shake up your milkshakes

If you’ve already tried a swirl of syrup in your cold brew, it’s not a huge leap to imagine what it can do for milkshakes and other iced treats.

A few scoops of ice cream, a splash of milk, and your go-to coffee syrup and voilà, dessert in a glass – no fuss, just syrup and stir.

Top tips

• Always add your coffee syrup before blending to make sure the flavour mixes evenly.

• Start with a tablespoon and adjust to your personal preference, as it may be sweeter than you think.

Try these flavour combos

• Caramel syrup + vanilla ice cream + milk: Makes for a thick, diner-style milkshake.

• Mint syrup + chocolate ice cream + a splash of milk: For a fresh, frosty twist on mint-choc.

• Pumpkin spice syrup + vanilla ice cream + crushed biscuits: Enjoy a spiced sundae-style dessert.

How to use coffee syrups when mixing cocktails

It’s time to invite some syrup to your happy hour!

A splash of flavoured syrup is an easy way to add personality to both cocktails and mocktails – no need for fancy bar tools or hard-to-find ingredients. Just mix it in and raise your glass!

Top tips

• Be sure to stir or shake thoroughly – coffee syrup is thicker than juice, so it needs mixing well.

• These syrups are bold, so start small and fine-tune to your personal preference.

Try these flavour combos

• Espresso Martini + Vanilla coffee syrup: Adds smooth sweetness and depth, replacing sugar syrup for a more balanced finish.

• Whisky Sour + Caramel syrup: Enhances the whisky’s warmth and softens the citrus with rich, smoky sweetness.

• Mojito Mocktail + Mint syrup: A quicker, cleaner way to get minty flavour without muddling or mess.

Grab a bottle and start stirring things up!

By now, it’s clear: coffee syrups aren’t just for coffee.

Want to use caramel syrup in your tea? Go for it. Fancy a splash of vanilla coffee syrup in your smoothie? Why not!

Whether you’re into bold brews, iced drinks, sweet shakes or something a little stronger, these bottles were made for every occasion.

Start with one of these flavour favourites from our Barista Collection:

• Caramel flavoured syrup: Smooth, rich, and buttery with a golden sweetness that never overwhelms.

• Vanilla flavoured syrup: Delicate and mellow with soft, creamy notes and a naturally sweet finish.

• Hazelnut flavoured syrup: Warm, nutty, and aromatic with a toasty depth that lingers.

If you’re after something a little different, you’ll find Salted Caramel, Mint, and Pumpkin Spice flavours in our Amazon coffee syrups store.

Nothing beats a freshly baked scone, still warm from the oven and ready to be slathered with rich, fruity jam – it’s one of life’s simple pleasures! And when the scones and the jam are both homemade? That’s when the magic happens!

With a few simple ingredients and our tried-and-tasted recipes, you can create the fluffiest and most delicious scones with homemade jams imaginable.

Why scones and jam are a British classic

Whether enjoyed at afternoon tea or straight from the oven alongside a steaming cup of coffee, scones are a little taste of British baking at its best.

The ever-so-British cream tea debate (it’s jam first according to Cornwall, cream first according to Devon!) has sparked friendly rivalries for years. But whichever way you spread it, one thing’s certain: golden brown scones with homemade jam are a timeless tradition that you can bring to life in your own kitchen.

Get started with our easy English scones recipe

OK, first things first – our English scones recipe is as easy as they come. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a batch of light, fluffy scones ready to serve.

It’s simple, fuss-free, and makes 5 to 6 scones, depending on how generous you are with the cutter!
If you don’t need a full recipe but just want a quick refresher, here are a few key tips to keep in mind:

• Handle the dough gently: Overworking it makes scones tough, so gently fold the dough just until everything comes together.

• Keep your butter cold: This helps create a light, flaky texture. Work quickly so it doesn’t melt into the flour.

• Press, don’t twist: When cutting out scones, push the cutter straight down. Twisting seals the edges and stops them from rising properly.

• Brush the tops lightly: A touch of milk or egg wash is all you need for a golden, glossy finish.

Now, let’s talk homemade jam, because no scone is complete without it!

The secret to perfect homemade jam

Getting that beautifully set, glossy jam isn’t just about the fruit – it’s all in the sugar! Jam Sugar contains just the right amount of pectin and citric acid to help your preserves thicken and set perfectly while keeping their fresh, fruity flavour.

The golden rule? Use a 1:1 ratio – one part fruit to one part Jam Sugar. Whether you’re making a simple berry jam or experimenting with new flavours, Tate and Lyle Pure Cane Jam Sugar makes the process quick, easy, and stress-free.

5 delicious homemade jam recipes to try

Making homemade jam is easier than you think, and the results are well worth it. Here are a few recipes to get you started.

Strawberry jam

A timeless favourite, strawberry jam is sweet, simple, and the perfect match for freshly baked scones. This recipe gives you a beautifully set, glossy finish with just the right balance of sweetness and tang.

Summer berry jam

Packed with a mix of seasonal berries, this summer jam is bursting with colour and flavour. It’s a great way to make the most of ripe summer fruit and creates a rich, vibrant spread for your scones.

Strawberry prosecco jam

For something a little different, this strawberry prosecco jam adds a touch of fizz to a classic. The prosecco enhances the natural sweetness of the strawberries, making it a fun and elegant twist on tradition.

Blackberry jam

Rich, deep, and slightly tangy, blackberry jam is a fantastic alternative to strawberry. It pairs beautifully with warm scones and clotted cream, giving a delicious balance of sweetness and sharpness.

Raspberry and rosewater jam

A delicate twist on a classic, this raspberry and rosewater jam balances the tartness of raspberries with a fragrant floral note.

Now it’s over to you!

Homemade baking doesn’t get much better than scones with homemade jams. Fresh, fruity, and made just the way you like it.

Now it’s your turn – fire up the oven, grab your jam jars, and get baking!

Adding sweetness to your favourite recipes or your morning cuppa is one of life’s simple joys. But with so many types of sugars and sweeteners available, how do you know which one to choose?

This guide covers everything you need to know, from everyday white sugars to sweeteners, making it easier to choose the right option for any recipe.

Cane sugar comes straight from the juice of the sugarcane plant. That’s it. No artificial sweeteners—just pure, natural ingredients.

Once the sugarcane is harvested, the juice is squeezed out, clarified and crystalised before arriving at our refinery on the bank of the river Thames. There, any impurities are removed, and it’s carefully refined into different types of sugar.

Different recipes call for different types of sugar, each adding its own flavour and texture, and having the right one to hand makes all the difference.

Brown sugars get their signature colour and rich flavour from the natural molasses in cane sugar. Tate & Lyle Unrefined Demerara Sugar has large, amber-coloured crystals that add crunch to crumbles and biscuits.

Soft brown sugar melts into your baked goods and marinades, adding an extra depth of richness. The lighter varieties bring a more subtle caramel flavour, whereas the darker versions have a deeper, more treacly taste that pairs beautifully with bold flavours like ginger and coffee.

White sugars are a kitchen staple for baking and everyday use.

• Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Granulated Sugar (also known as table sugar) is the go-to for hot drinks and adding a sprinkle over your cereal is a great morning treat.

• Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Caster Sugar’s finer texture is perfect for baking, providing a light and airy texture to your cakes.

• Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar is powdered for a smooth finish, ideal for icing, buttercream and dusting.

• Tate & Lyle Fondant Icing Sugar contains extra glucose, offering a more robust icing to decorate your baked goods.

If you enjoy making jams and preserves, go for our range of preserving sugars. Some fruits, like strawberries, are low in pectin (a natural thickener) on their own. Tate & Lyle Jam Sugar includes added pectin to help achieve the perfect consistency.

On the other hand, Tate & Lyle Preserving Sugar has larger crystals that dissolve slowly to prevent burning. It’s fantastic for marmalades or preserves containing fruits with higher-pectin levels, leaving you with a clear, glossy finish.

Cutting back on sugar doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice flavour; sugar substitutes and sweeteners are the perfect compromise. Tate & Lyle Sweeteners, made from sucralose, have been crafted to deliver the sweetness you love with less calories.

Sucralose is much sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way. In fact, ¼ of a teaspoon of Tate & Lyle Sweetener is all it takes to match the sweetness of a teaspoon of sugar.

For hot drinks, you can also try Tate & Lyle Sweetener Tablets. One tablet has the same sweetness as a teaspoon of sugar, with a single pack offering around 300 servings.

Look at these articles to find out more about our zero calorie sweeteners:

Whether it’s the crisp, golden edges of a biscuit or the deep caramel richness in a cake, the sugar and sweetener you choose makes all the difference.

With over 145 years’ experience, Tate & Lyle is trusted by the best. 69.7% of professionals say Tate & Lyle is their preferred sugar*, and you can get that same quality in your own kitchen.

As a proud Fairtrade partner since 2008, we’re also striving to support small-scale sugarcane farmers and their communities worldwide, encouraging ethical sourcing and sustainable production.

Whether it’s something adventurous like salted caramel ice cream or a classic vanilla, ice cream is the ultimate comfort dessert. And guess what? Making it at home is surprisingly easy.  

Keep reading to discover how you can turn a few simple ingredients (and the finest sugars from Tate & Lyle, of course!) into something that tastes incredible.  

Ice cream is one of those things that just never disappoints. From the first smooth spoonful to the last, it’s hard to find a better way to treat yourself. 

But what makes ice cream such a hit? Well, it’s the ultimate comfort food, the kind that fits just as well on a quiet night in as it does at a celebration. Feeling a bit down? A scoop of your favourite ice cream flavour might be all you need to lift your spirits. Celebrating something special? Ice cream adds that little extra something to the occasion. 

One of the biggest myths about ice cream is that it’s difficult to make. In reality, creating your own homemade ice cream can be as easy or as involved as you want it to be. 

There’s no need to feel intimidated by fancy ice cream makers or recipes that look like they require a degree in chemistry. Ice cream is very forgiving—you really just need a simple ice cream base, some Tate & Lyle Sugar, and a bit of patience. 

If you’ve never tried making homemade ice cream before, you’re in for a treat! 

Got an ice cream maker gathering dust somewhere? Now’s the time to break it out. It’s a fantastic investment if you’re serious about your scoops. The machine does most of the work for you, churning your cream mixture into a smooth and creamy delight in about 30 minutes. 

One of our favourite recipes is this easy salted caramel ice cream. With just a few ingredients, including Tate & Lyle’s signature sugars, this homemade ice cream recipe delivers a rich, buttery flavour that’s sure to impress. 

You can still whip up delicious ice cream without a machine. This method involves making your cream mixture, adding it to a freezer-friendly container and then placing it in the freezer, stirring it occasionally to break up any ice crystals. Think of it as a good excuse to pop into the kitchen and check on your creation (and maybe sneak a taste). 

Our homemade vanilla ice cream recipe is perfect for this method. It’s rich, creamy, and the perfect blank canvas for any mix-ins you fancy. Plus, it’s great on its own or as a base for all your sundae dreams. 

Or why not try our brown sugar vanilla ice cream recipe? It’s got all the velvety richness of traditional vanilla, but with a deeper, slightly caramelised flavour thanks to the Tate & Lyle Dark Brown Soft Sugar. 

The beauty of homemade ice cream is that you’re the chef – and there are no rules. You’re only limited by your imagination (and maybe the contents of your kitchen cupboard). 

Vanilla ice cream is always a winner, but why stop there? Add in some mini chocolate chips for a classic twist, swirl in peanut butter for a bit of salty-sweet goodness, or get fancy with a dash of peppermint extract for a refreshing kick.  

On a warm sunny day when you’re craving something cool and creamy, you could pop to the shops and grab a tub of something. But with a little bit of time and the help of Tate & Lyle Sugars, your freezer will soon be stocked with irresistible homemade ice cream that will be a sweet hit, scoop after scoop. 

So why wait? Grab a bag of our high-quality sugars and get started! 

Looking for a refreshing way to beat the heat? Iced tea is the perfect solution. Whether you’re a tea enthusiast or looking for the perfect drink for the summer, keep reading to discover our favourite iced tea recipes and how to make them.

Iced teas are a go-to choice for many during the warmer months because they are an enjoyable and refreshing drink. The natural flavours of tea, combined with the chill of ice, provide a delightful alternative to plain water.

Iced tea can be enjoyed plain, sweetened, or infused with a variety of ingredients. This versatility makes it suitable for different tastes and occasions, from casual drinks to formal events. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue or enjoying a quiet afternoon, there’s an iced tea for every moment.

Did you know that all tea comes from the same plant? The way it’s grown, picked and processed is what creates all the different types.

You can use virtually any type of tea for iced tea, each bringing its own unique flavour profile.

Fully oxidised for deep flavours, black tea is what’s used in standard tea bags. It brews up a dark, coppery colour and typically has a richer, more robust flavour than other teas. Black tea is higher in caffeine, ideal for a morning boost or afternoon pick-me-up.

Green tea offers a sweet, fresh flavour. It often brews up a light green or yellow colour and has a milder taste. Green tea contains about half as much caffeine as black tea.

The least processed and most delicate, white tea has a subtle flavour and a crisp, clean finish. It tends to be very low in caffeine, making it a gentle, soothing choice.

This partially oxidised tea ranges from fruity to roasted flavours, placing it somewhere between black and green teas. Oolong can brew up anywhere from a pale yellow to a rich amber colour and offers a complex, layered taste.

Aged and partially fermented, pu-erh tea has a rich, earthy flavour. It brews up an inky brown-black colour and it’s fairly high in caffeine, similar to black tea.

Although it’s not technically tea, herbal infusions can be enjoyed any time of day and provide a creative twist to traditional iced tea. They are caffeine free and offer a wide range of vibrant and aromatic flavours.

Popular options include mint for a refreshing touch, chamomile for a calming effect, and hibiscus for a tart and tangy flavour.

Cold brewing offers a smooth and mellow flavour by gently extracting the tea’s flavours without the bitterness, but it does require more time.

1. In a large jug, combine the tea bags and cold water. Cover and put in the fridge to chill, leaving it to steep for at least 8 hours, but no longer than 12.
2.  After steeping, remove the tea bags and serve over ice, or keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to drink it.

Glossary

Steeping is a term used to describe the process of water absorbing the colour and flavours of the tea.

Add strips of lemon, lime, or orange zest while your tea steeps. This will infuse the natural citrus oils into your tea, adding a bright, zesty flavour.

Incorporate fresh fruit like berries, peaches, lemon slices or orange slices for a sweet, fruity twist. The natural sugars and flavours of the fruit will work beautifully with the tea.

Gently crush fresh herbs like mint, basil or lemon thyme at the bottom of your cup before adding iced tea. This releases the herbs’ natural flavours and adds a refreshing scent.

For a unique flavour profile, try adding spices like cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, or ginger. A spiced iced tea can provide a warming contrast to the coolness, making it a versatile drink for different seasons.

Elderflower brings a delicate, sweet flavour that pairs beautifully with many types of tea. Submerge a handful of elderflower into your tea and let it infuse as it cools down, or add elderflower cordial for a floral note.

Replace the cold water with flavoured sparkling water or fruit juice to add a fizzy, fruity twist to your homemade iced tea.

Elevate your iced tea with Tate & Lyle’s Barista Collection Syrups. These premium syrups are crafted to perfection, using pure cane sugar to ensure a rich, authentic taste. Whether you’re a fan of classic flavours or looking to experiment with new ones, these syrups are the perfect choice.

Ever thought your toast could use a bit more pizzaz? Look no further! Marmalade might just be the perfect solution. Whether you’re a traditionalist or an adventurous foodie, the countless varieties of marmalade are sure to bring a burst of citrusy joy to your mornings.

In this article, discover a selection of delicious marmalade recipes and tips to help you create the perfect spread.

Creating the perfect marmalade only requires just a few ingredients. Understanding the role each one plays will help you achieve the best results in flavour and texture.

The foundation of any marmalade is citrus fruit, which is what distinguishes it from jam. While Seville oranges are traditionally used for their robust flavours, you can use a variety of citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and grapefruits.

Sugar is the key ingredient that preserves the marmalade and gives it its signature consistency. Not all sugars are the same, and choosing the right one is crucial.

Avoid caster sugar, as its fine crystals dissolve too quickly. Jam sugar, which contains added pectin (a thickening agent), is unnecessary for marmalade, as citrus fruits contain high levels of natural pectin.

Tate & Lyle Preserving Sugar, with its larger, slower-dissolving crystals, reduces the need for constant stirring and prevents burning—ensuring a smooth cooking process and a clear, beautiful marmalade.

Water is a vital ingredient in the marmalade-making process as it softens the peel and helps extract the pectin from the fruit. The right amount of water ensures your marmalade achieves the perfect setting point without being too thick or too runny.

With the right tools and techniques, you can create a stunning marmalade. Here are some essential tips to ensure your marmalade turns out perfectly every time.

Every successful marmalade begins with the right tools. Using a large, heavy-bottomed pan is crucial, as it ensures your marmalade cooks evenly and prevents burning.

The heavy bottom disperses heat for an even boil, and the wide deep sides help the evaporation process. A preserving pan is ideal for this purpose, but a sturdy large saucepan will also suffice.

Whether you prefer thin, medium, or thick-cut peel, uniformity is crucial for even cooking and a superior final texture. Ensure your shreds are consistent, as this will produce the best results.

Proper sterilisation ensures that your marmalade remains fresh and safe to eat for months.

Wash your jars, lids and rubber seals (if your jars have them) in hot soapy water, rinse and then place on a baking tray. After that, put them in a preheated oven at 140°C (120°C fan) for 20 minutes.

You should also sterilise all utensils that will contact your marmalade in boiling water for a few minutes.

A sugar thermometer is a really easy way to check if your marmalade is ready (it’s usually set between 104°C and 105.5°C). But if you don’t have a sugar thermometer, there are traditional methods you can use to check your marmalade:

• The wrinkle test: Chill some saucers in the freezer. After boiling the marmalade for 15 minutes, spoon a bit of the mixture onto a cold saucer, let it cool for two minutes, and push it with your finger. If the surface wrinkles, it’s set. If not, boil for another five minutes and repeat.

• The flake test: Dip a wooden spoon into the marmalade and let it drip back into the pan. If the marmalade drops in flakes, it’s ready.

Overcooking can ruin the texture and flavour of your marmalade. It’s a good idea to remove your pan from the heat while you test it to see if it’s set. Leaving it to boil as you do so could risk boiling away too much water, leaving you with a thick, rubbery marmalade.

The final step in marmalade making is potting. Proper potting techniques ensure that your marmalade is well-preserved and looks as good as it tastes.

Let the marmalade settle for 15 minutes in the pan before potting. This helps suspend the peel evenly throughout the jars.

Use reliable oven gloves and a stainless steel wide-mouth funnel to safely pour the hot marmalade into the sterilised jars. Once cooled, tighten the lids and clean any residue from the jar exteriors with a warm, wet cloth.

Now that you’re equipped with the essential tips for making perfect marmalade, it’s time to get creative in the kitchen. Here are some delicious marmalade recipes to inspire you.

For coffee connoisseurs, coffee casuals and everyone in between, the right syrup always adds a tantalising twang to a morning cup of coffee. You’re spoilt for choice, too: from velvety smooth caramel to soft, mellow vanilla, there’s a reason why coffee syrups are rapidly growing in popularity.

There’s also plenty of room for experimentation. Different syrups can be blended with all coffee types to create unique flavour combinations with every cup. Nowadays, the baristas aren’t the only ones making the most of these delicious flavour profiles. Our coffee syrups are bursting with mouth-watering tastes for those of you at home looking to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising on the coffee flavours we all know and love.

In this article, explore the wonderful world of coffee syrups, including how to use them and how to create your own distinct flavours at home.

First things first, what’s the best way to use coffee syrups?

Everybody has their own methods, but we like to add our syrups to coffee like this:

1.) Finish brewing your coffee.

2.) Measure out your syrup with a tablespoon. (The amount you choose here is up to you, but we suggest using half a tablespoon for your average mug.)

3.) Give it a mix.

4.) Drink up!

Et voilà! It’s as simple as that.

Finding that perfect coffee syrup? *chef’s kiss*. Here at Tate & Lyle, we have three of the highest-quality coffee syrups on offer, all of which will elevate your coffee to the next level.

Let’s take a look at various ways you can use them in coffee drinks.

Who doesn’t like caramel? Our silky smooth caramel-flavoured coffee syrup is made using pure cane sugar certified by Fairtrade and is the perfect addition to your coffee. It’s unendingly versatile, unashamedly sweet, and suitable for various drinks, from lattes to hot chocolates.

Our favourite? That’s easy: a caramel iced coffee frappé. This cool delight is perfect for the sunny weather and features a double shot of espresso, milk, ice cubes and caramel syrup blended into a refreshingly smooth treat.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, check out the syrup recipe here.

Versatile and velvety, vanilla extract and coffee are a match made in heaven. Our vanilla coffee syrup provides a more subtle, smooth taste than other flavours.

While this vanilla syrup can also be used in an iced coffee frappé, our personal favourite is the indulgent vanilla dalgona coffee syrup recipe. Made by whisking coffee, vanilla extract coffee syrup, and three tablespoons of boiling water in a bowl, it produces a fluffy, thick foam that’s then spooned on top of a glass of warm milk.

Follow the recipe here to discover this delight for yourself.

Last but certainly not least is our delectable hazelnut flavour coffee syrup, a particular favourite among those partial to a nutty twist in their coffee. Again, our cold brew frappé recipe, made using ice, milk, and a double shot of espresso, is the perfect way to use this delightful flavour.

We’re sure you’ll agree there’s nothing like an ice-cool cocktail to chill you out in the sweltering sun. Fortunately, you no longer have to pay over the odds at a fancy bar to get a top-tier classic cocktail during the summer. Our cocktail syrups are the secret weapon for aspiring mixologists.

Versatile, easy-to-use and unabashedly sweet, our range of cocktail mixer syrups don’t hold back. In this article, we’ll delve deeper into how you can use cocktail syrups to level up your summer drinks, as well as which flavour profiles will suit your tastebuds best.

Let’s get to it.

Every bartender knows that a dollop of sweetness is the crucial ingredient in most cocktail recipes, and cocktail syrups are a fantastic way to bring that sugariness to a concoction. They also introduce a weighty texture, help balance out flavours, and add some additional complexity.

These three syrups from our Barista Collection range have been created with cocktails at the forefront of our minds:

Caramel,
Vanilla,
Hazelnut

Each with its own unique characteristics, these three flavours offer something for everyone and are perfect for taking an already refreshing cocktail to the next level. From the velvety texture of caramel to the bold, sharp hazelnut taste, the potential is limitless.

When summer comes around, spreading out on a lounger with an icy, syrup-infused cocktail in your hand can’t be beaten. Plenty of classic cocktails can benefit from introducing syrups, but we’ve gathered three of our personal favourite syrup recipes for the sizzling summer months ahead.

We couldn’t think of a more refreshing fruit for a scorching day than watermelon. That’s why we created our Watermelon & Lime Blast cocktail syrup recipe.

Taking just five minutes to make, simply blend up watermelon chunks in a blender, squeeze in some lime juice and add Tate & Lyle Golden Caster sugar and vodka to a couple of glasses. The cherry on top? A squirt of caramel syrup to bring a smooth texture to the mix.

A glass of prosecco is a prerequisite as soon as the sun comes out. However, our Summer Fruits Prosecco Slushie recipe takes things to the next level.

It couldn’t be easier to make. Blend up some berries, ice cubes and Tate & Lyle’s Golden Caster Sugar until nice and smooth, before topping up each glass with chilled prosecco. Vanilla is the perfect flavour to introduce to this particular cocktail, so be sure to add some of our vanilla syrup to the mix when blending.

Although often confused, jam and marmalade have distinct differences. Jam can be made from any fruit—and even vegetables. The ingredients are either puréed or chopped and then cooked with jam sugar, creating the soft texture we all know and love.

Marmalade, on the other hand, is made exclusively from citrus rind and juice, leading to a thicker, more chunky texture and a zesty flavour kick.

Traditionally, marmalade is made from Seville oranges, renowned for their rich flavour and strong citrus aroma. These oranges have become synonymous with the beloved character Paddington Bear, famous for his love for Seville orange marmalade —always stashing a jar in his suitcase and keeping a marmalade sandwich in his hat, in case of emergencies!

Our gingered orange marmalade recipe is simply divine, good enough to earn the approval of Paddington Bear himself! Created with just four ingredients—fresh ginger, oranges, lemons and Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Preserving Sugar—this marmalade is gloriously easy to make.

Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Preserving Sugar is the secret to a perfect marmalade. Unlike jam sugar, it has no added pectin, which makes it ideal for use with ingredients containing high pectin levels (like citrus fruits).

It’s a granulated sugar with large, slow-dissolving crystals that minimises stirring, prevents burning, and produces less froth—making your marmalade-making experience as smooth as possible.

Ginger marmalade makes an excellent base for marinades, adding both sweetness and heat to meats and vegetables. It works particularly well with chicken, pork, beef, and even seafood like shrimp or salmon.

Try our Chinese sticky ribs with marmalade marinade, where marmalade is the star, creating a rich, savoury marinade that leaves the ribs irresistibly sticky and perfectly glazed for a delightful meal.

Ginger marmalade can add a burst of flavour to your baked goods. Use it to fill muffins or layer cakes, bringing a tangy and spicy touch that enhances every bite.

For instance, Seville orange marmalade, cheddar, and chilli muffins uses marmalade to complement the savoury cheddar and spicy chilli flavours, creating a unique and delicious muffin.

A classic use for ginger marmalade is as a spread on toast or scones, perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea. Spread the marmalade on buttered toast for a simple yet delicious snack, or pair it with scones and a dollop of clotted cream for a truly indulgent treat.

In this article, discover our mouthwatering sizzling beef fajitas recipe and some alternative ingredients and toppings to make the dish truly yours.

Beef wraps offer a delightful blend of flavours and textures, with tender beef, a delicious marinade, and a fresh salsa to add some zing. It’s a dish that offers endless possibilities, letting you adjust the ingredients to suit your taste or whatever ingredients you have on hand.

What makes our beef wrap recipe stand out? Beef is already naturally rich in flavour, but we take it up a notch by marinating it with soy sauce, Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Dark Brown Soft Sugar, garlic, olive oil, lime juice and chilli.

Marinating the beef for at least 30 minutes is a crucial step. It adds a glorious depth of flavour, while the acidic lime juice helps to break down the beef fibres, making the meat tender and succulent.

While our beef wrap recipe is delicious as it is, there’s always room for flexibility. If you’re missing some ingredients or want to try something different, here’s how you can add your own twist.

While Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Dark Brown Soft Sugar is commonly used in beef wraps, why not switch it up with Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Unrefined Demerara Sugar? This light brown sugar has a hint of caramel, providing a unique sweetness and flavour to your dish.

Our recipe contains red onions and bell peppers, but there’s no reason to stop there. Try adding some sliced radishes for an extra crunch, grated carrots for a pop of colour, or thinly sliced cucumbers for a refreshing twist. These extra veggies will bring more texture and freshness to your wraps.

Herbs and spices can dramatically change the flavour profile of your wraps. Try swapping fresh chilli for cayenne pepper for some heat or smoked paprika for a milder, smoky flavour. If coriander isn’t your thing, replace it with parsley for a milder taste, or tarragon for a touch of liquorice.

While beef is a classic choice, you can also use chicken, lamb or tofu. Chicken offers a lighter, leaner option, while lamb provides a rich and robust flavour. And tofu is great for those seeking a plant-based alternative.

Wheat tortilla wraps are the norm, but you can explore other bases. Corn tortilla wraps are gluten-free and add a distinctive flavour. For a low-carb option, you can use lettuce or cabbage leaves, and you could also try pita bread or flatbreads for a Mediterranean twist.

To make your beef wraps truly special, consider switching-up the toppings. Guacamole will add a creaminess, pickled onions will add a tangy bite, and cheese lovers can experiment with different types of cheese for an extra layer of indulgence.

However you make them, this sizzling beef fajitas recipe is guaranteed to be a hit! Don’t forget to use Tate & Lyle Sugars—they’ll give your marinades and sauces the perfect sweetness and texture.

The quest for sweetness without the calories is a common challenge, but we have the solution – sucralose sweeteners. Keep reading to find out why this product is a real game-changer for both foods and beverages.

This low-calorie sweetener is much sweeter than standard sugar, which means you don’t need as much to achieve your desired level of sweetness.

A mere ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) of Tate & Lyle Sweetener equates to the sweetness of 1 teaspoon (4g) of sugar. This tells us that this sweetener is 8 times sweeter than sugar by weight.

So, for example, if you wanted to substitute 150g of sugar, we can calculate the equivalent amount of sweetener as follows:

150 ÷ 8 = 18.75g (round it up to 19g)

Here are some common ingredients that you can pair with sweeteners to add to various snacks and small meals like cereal and porridge.

• Unsweetened applesauce: A popular choice for adding moisture and bulk without adding extra calories or sugar. It works well in cakes, muffins, and bread.

• Plain or Greek yoghurt: This can add moisture and a slight tanginess to baked goods and is great in cakes and muffins.

• Mashed ripe bananas: Adds sweetness, moisture, and bulk. They work well in quick breads, muffins, cakes, and pancakes.

Incorporating these requires a touch of experimentation but remember that sweetener is a lot sweeter than Tate & Lyle sugar by weight. You’ll need to take care not to add too much sweetness and overpower other flavours!

Let’s explore how you can use Tate & Lyle Sweetener:

• Hot drinks: Sweeten your hot drinks with just ¼ teaspoon of Tate & Lyle Sweetener for the same sweetness as a full teaspoon of sugar. With just two calories per ¼ teaspoon, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a low calorie beverage.
