Tips from our Beverage Innovation Directors

The new MONIN Tea syrup range allows for amazing iced tea creations with a true infused tea taste. They can be served either topped, on ice -with soda or still water- or flavoured. Customization can be done with MONIN fruit, spice, or herb syrups. The tea flavour is particularly enhanced by the ripe fruit, and the combination with Le Fruit de MONIN is incredible.
