==================================================================================
Hello and welcome to my playlist dedicated to the bases and premixes from Giardino sotto il Naso.
You can really do anything with carob, as I've already shown you in the video on carob powder.
For my alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, I also decided to make a syrup with it, which will have interesting notes of chocolate and dried fruit.
I cleaned the carob pods with pruning shears and split them in half with a paring knife to remove the seeds, which are very hard and could break the blades of your coffee grinder or blender.
I chopped them into small pieces and prepared a decoction, using 70g of carob beans per liter of water. I boiled the water for a few minutes and then added sugar to make a 2:1 syrup.
Before adding the sugar, you can measure the water you boiled with the carob beans with a refractometer to check the sugar content, but it's very low.
I dissolve the sugar thoroughly in the water and let it cool.
Once it's nice and cold, I filter and bottle my syrup.
You can also bottle it hot and vacuum-pack it, as I did with elderflower or bay flower syrup.
Now, enjoy!
I look forward to your comments below this video, and let me know if you'd like to explore specific topics in more depth. I'll be happy to create new content for you!

PLEASE NOTE:
If you have a restaurant and want to prepare homemade recipes, you must have an authorized laboratory and update the HACCP manual with your biologist, who will handle the process after verifying the feasibility of these preparations. In any case, the HERBS MUST COME FROM CERTIFIED SALES CHANNELS; they cannot be harvested wild without traceability.
Everything I do in my videos is PURE EXPERIMENTATION. The videos are demonstrational and created for those who want to explore the world of wild foraging and try these preparations AT HOME.
ALWAYS ASK a botanist or herbalist, especially if you're unfamiliar with the plant you're looking at.
If the land isn't yours, make sure it's not privately owned; you must be AUTHORIZED to harvest.
Harvest plants/fruits in NON-CONTAMINATED PLACES (for example, from pesticide use) and away from busy roads.
DON'T JOKE WITH PLANTS: BE CAREFUL!
