Step 2
Calibrating the syrup flow: To obt ain a quality
shake, it is vital that the correct amount of syrup be
incorporated into the mix. The cause of overly thin
shakes is often too much syrup. The cause of ov erly
thick shakes is often too little syrup.
To determine the rate of syrup flow, you will need a
syrup sampler and a calibrating cup indicat ing 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.
