    The top-selling beverage in the world, coffee is the favourite brew which gets the day started and shapes our daily rhythm with 'the coffee break' and the 'after-dinner coffee'. It is made from roasted coffee beans, from the coffee plant. The earliest credible evidence of coffee consumption appears in the mid-15th century in Arabia in Mokha, Yemen when coffee beans were first roasted and brewed. It then spread throughout the Middle East and later to Europe via Italy. Coffee can be consumed in wide variety of ways from 'espresso' to 'cappuccino' and it is used as a flavour in cakes and puddings. Coffee and walnut cake and tiramisu are stock favourites and coffee is generally wonderful married with chocolate, nuts and vanilla.

The rough pink red rind is peeled to reveal a creamy white pulp, similar in texture to grapes, with a floral perfume and a fragrant, sweet flavour Records of lychee consumption in China go back to 2000 BC and it was certainly a delicacy of the Chinese Imperial Court, where fresh lychee was couriered in on fast horses. Today they are widely available fresh and tinned, and are cultivated in many tropical climates around the world. Fresh lychees are available from November to January and add an Asian flavour to fish dishes and an Oriental twist to desserts such as coconut rice pudding with lychees.Add the delicate perfumed taste of the Orient to your cocktails, lemonades, teas and smoothies with MONIN Lychee syrup.Colour Bright light gold.Tasting notes Nose: Floral and fruity smell Attack: Genuine slightly tart lychee taste Length in Mouth: Subtle citrus noteTips The taste of this amazing fruit syrup is sensual, very sweet and reminiscent of roses and some Muscat grapes. Asian trends jump with full power into the cocktail industry, and one of my suggestions is to combine Lychee with Rose and you will definitely bring the taste of the night of Far East cultures.Applications

  • Origin One of Olivier Monin’s personal favourites, MONIN Macadamia syrup was created to fulfil the demand for a roasted buttery nut flavour. Originating from Australia, the macadamia nut is named after the scientist Dr John McAdam, who first described it, but it is also known as the ‘Queensland nut’, ‘bush nut’ and ‘Queen of nuts’, among others. Of course, the Aboriginals had already discovered the fine taste of the macadamia thousands of years before Europeans settled there. Considered by some as ‘the nut lover’s nut’, macadamias are used in puddings, cakes and biscuits as well as savoury dishes. They go particularly well with white chocolate.Try mixing MONIN Macadamia syrup with MONIN Chocolate sauce to create an indulgent nutty chocolate latte.Colour Amber.Tasting notes Long-lasting roasted nuts smell and taste, French pralines aftertaste.Beverage Innovation Directors tips MONIN Macadamia Nut syrup fits very well with MONIN Chocolate sauce.
