Testimonials
"I’ve been hooked on Syfos for years. It’s SO much better than other seltzers or expensive sparkling waters. We get it at our local Publix in Florida. When we first started buying it many years ago, they kept running out. We asked them if they could increase their stock, and they did! So if you don’t see it in your local store, just ask."
Recipe of the Day
St. Germain & Syfo
From The Washington Post: Natural juice-based drinks help maintain hydration in summer’s heat. This one is gently sweetened with honey, flavored with lemon and spiked with a hint of mint.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 cups honey
- 1/2 cup water
- Juice from 2 to 5 lemons (1/2 to 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup packed mint leaves, plus mint sprigs for garnish
- Syfo Lemon-Lime Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water, chilled
- Ice
PREPARATION:
Heat the honey, water, and lemon juice and zest in a small nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a low boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Stir in the mint leaves, then cover the saucepan and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and into a Mason jar or other lidded storage container, discarding the solids left in the strainer. Cover and refrigerate.
To serve, measure 1 tablespoon of syrup into a drinking glass and add 1 cup of sparkling water. Stir to combine. Add ice if desired. Taste, and add syrup or sparkling water as needed. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

This year for Passover we thought we’d share some delicious Kosher for Passover beverage recipes that we found around the web to help you celebrate Passover 2016. These drink recipes either avoid using spirits derived from one of the five grains—barley, oats, rye, spelt, or wheat — or use ingredients that have been designated as Kosher for Passover. We’ve included links to the original recipes so you can investigate the ingredients in more detail. As always, Syfo Original Seltzer and our Lemon-Lime Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water are certified Kosher for Passover 2016 by the Orthodox Union.
