Preparation Steps (500ml Example)

1. Pour in 150ml of hot tea: add freshly brewed hot tea to the shaker. Use 200ml for a 700ml cup.
2. Add syrup by sweetness: tare on a digital scale and add syrup, for example 45g for half sweet. Weighing instead of eyeballing is the key to consistent drinks.
3. Fill with ice and shake: fill with ice, cap, shake well and pour into the cup.

How Many Cups Does One Bottle Make?

Tang Sugar fruit syrups come in 2.5kg (6 bottles per carton) and 5kg (4 per carton) packs. Based on the chart above (excluding waste):

5kg bottle	About 83 cups	About 111 cups	About 62 cups	About 76 cups

Calculated as pack weight ÷ dose per cup, rounded down. Use the same method to turn syrup cost into ingredient cost per cup for pricing.

Pairing Suggestions

• Light teas such as green tea and Four Seasons Spring: suit sweet-tart flavors such as lemon, passion fruit and orange for fruit teas.
• Black tea: pairs with more aromatic flavors such as peach, lychee and rose.
• Add toppings: fruit teas go well with popping boba, crystal boba or nata de coco; see Bubble Tea Toppings Compared.

Sweetness and tartness feel different on different tea bases, so test at half sweet first and fine-tune for your customers.

Storage

Taking Tang Sugar lemon syrup as an example, unopened shelf life is 12 months. When storing:

• Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
• After opening, close the cap tightly, refrigerate and use up promptly.
• Keep water out of the syrup during storage and use to prevent spoilage.

Check each flavor’s packaging for its actual shelf life.
