Step 2
Calibrating the syrup flow: To obtain a quality
shake, it is vital that the correct amount of syrup be
incorporat ed int o the mix . The c ause of o verly thin
shakes is often too much syrup. The cause of o verly
thick shakes is often too little syrup.
To determine the rate o f syrup fl ow, you will need a
syrup sampler and a calibrating cup indicating the
ounces of liquid. Generally, the proper rate of syrup
flow is 1 ounce (29.6 ml) of syrup in 5 seconds. Once
this rate is set, the correct amount of syrup will be
blended with the shake base regardless of the size of
shake served.
