Food / Coffee Syrup - like 1883 and Torani? [11]

Since you're very selective---why not experiment and make your own.Here's a recepie I found:Coffee syrup is a very easy syrup to make. It only includes three ingredients:

1 cup of ground coffee
1 cup of sugar
3 cups of water
It only takes minutes and is very tasty.

1) Boil both the sugar and water together for about five minutes.
2) Next, pour the mixture over the ground coffee.
3) Let this stand until it cools, and then strain.
4) Last, refrigerate in a sealed container.
Your coffee syrup is ready when it becomes somewhat thick.

You'll have to try the Belvedere on ul.Agrykoli 1-- I only found it by accident when I was walking around Lazienki park. I popped in for cake and coffee and was totally impressed.

The food was very good and reasonbly priced. What makes this the Belvedere stand out is the service and decor. It the most beatiful restaurant I have ever eaten in!

The elegant interiors reflect the spirit of our times and the display of lights with the great music only add to the experience.Worth a try !!!
