I always suggest to all my friends to mix the syrup with water so it will taste like juice. It's sweet and good taste. Use the measurement cup that come with it. Depend on the age, either 5-ml or 10-ml and then fill it with water until almost full.

The best I could try to describe it- it is like blackberry juice +cranberry juice together. My three kids love it. You could try to mix it with tea or juice.

I give my kids this Immune Booster which contains echinacea and sambucus Zahler ImmuniKid, Liquid Immune Support Supplement for Children, Immune Booster for Kids in a Great Tasting Strawberry Spearmint Flavor, Certified Kosher, 16oz my kids love it. The taste is absolutely fantastic! This is the #1 winter supplement in my house!

I like the taste. It's sweet and a little bit sour. I usually add a little bit water, because it's stringy and kids start coughing. My kids like the product very much. I don't need to call them twice.

So...yes it does taste like black licorice due to the anise, but it's not overpowering. Personally I hate black licorice as a candy, srsly gross...even the jelly beans let alone the actual candy. But I DO like this tea. Idk, maybe it grew on me. I drink it w/sugar, as I do w/all teas because I find all teas to be bitter. Even the ones that claim not to be. THIS tea, hwvr, I don't always put milk into, like I do w/all black teas and some herbals.

In my opinion it is more similar in taste to that of a bland strawberry yoohoo when blended with milk... I like it just fine that way personally..BUT, If you are desperate for a "fuller" strawberry milk taste (or just feel like splurging a bit) add one teaspoon, or two at most, of Hershey's Strawberry syrup. I've done this and it tastes absolutely divine, like its not even a protein shake, but more like a desert shake with all the benefits and none of the "guilt".

To be honest, I'm not convinced. I have to tell you though, I wouldn't give this stuff to my worst enemy. There are other more quality brands out there. This one has some not so good stuff in it. Look into Urban moonshine maple flavored. 1000% better. I am not a rep for their product either. Just someone that has tasted both and threw this one out.

my son buys sodastream syrup and tries to figure out the proportions....I just use the fizzy water and add a shot of peach juice or lemonade to it.

I put mine in water and I can not taste it at all. I have taken it alone and it does havea taste but once you drink something there is no taste. I have never had an after taste, and i sleep much better after taking it

I guess it depends on what you child is used to. I do think they have changed them somehow recently. My son used to like them and now he does not. The most recent bottle tastes different from what the previous bottles tasted like. I have tried them my self and can attest to the change in taste. It's an aftertaste that is a bit unpleasant really. They are really go vitamins.

Other syrups are colored by additional food coloring. This is the only brand that I could find that doesnt use "fake" food coloring.But I cannot comment on color!

Hi Joey~~I know a person has to almost develop a taste for the coconut water. They do sell flavored coconut water, but I didn't like those at all. I would think you could add a bit of your favorite juice and see how you do with it. I use Zico because I have a horrible problem with keeping hydrated and have been hospitalized for this. Keeps me actually from passing out and acts for me like an instant IV. :) Best to you, Joey~

I have bought strawberry and lime flavors. Ingredients (as listed): sugar,. Glucose-fructose syrup, water, lime juice from concentrate, citric acid, flavorings. No colorings, no preservatives, It's from France and is the healthiest syrup I've been able to find. I did get some from Croatia which was just fruit juice and sugar, nothing else. Amazon doesn't carry it. I can buy it elsewhere on line but have to pay shipping which is ruinous because of the weight. This French syrup comes in cans. I reorder as needed. I think the French are pretty picky in their food products so I buy with confidence. I have bought strawberry and lime flavors. Ingredients (as listed): sugar,.

I'm going to disagree with the above responses. It tastes EXACTLY like Crunch Berries in Cap'n Crunch cereal. Seriously, pop a couple of those in your mouth and you'll have a perfect representation of this flavor. That's not a bad thing (it's quite good in its own right), but it doesn't even remotely resemble Nestle/Hershey strawberry milk.

I no longer have this item. Bought it a few years ago. I liked it, but my kids hated the taste. Sorry.

I agree. You can definitely taste the sucralose and it's nasty. I'm so sorry I purchased this. Why the heck can't they just use sugar?? :(

Taking it straight isn't palatable. My spouse thinks it's "ok", but I can't hack the "after taste". However if I put it inside a drink of some sort, I cannot discern a taste...or there's a change so small that it does not affect the pleasure of the beverage.

I've heard you can substitute Molasses (which has it's own health benefits). I reduce the amount of honey and add a little Stevia with mine sometimes, although that makes the syrup a little more watery. But I'd try molasses if it's an age issue. Good luck!

My daughter does not like the taste of this at all, but she will eat it as along as she has something to drink with it. Maybe offer a special drink that he doesn't normally have, like soda etc, to make it 'special'. Or you could hide it in food (I did this with my youngest with motion sickness pills--at 2-3 years old she wouldn't eat them, even the kids chewable ones, though she couldn't ride in a car w/o them. I hid them in applesauce. You may have to do this, if the drink option doesn't work.)

The kind I got was grade B. I don't know what the description says but the paperwork with it explained how they were changing the numbering system so it matches. Right now Canada labels different from the US. But they also have grade A syrup. So you could get either kind--I would base it on the label and assume the description was either a typo or a more generic description.
