From our carob trees we make our own syrup, which has a naturally sweet taste like chocolate. Indeed, there are many ways to use carob syrup as an alternative to chocolate. To begin with, you can use it for a healthy hot chocolate and dessert topping. Further, carob syrup can help with digestion and it acts as a mild natural laxative. Ofcourse, at Cyherbia you can taste our unique carob muffins, made with our own carob syrup. Undoubtedly, the ‘secret ingredient’ of our cooking in Cyherbia’s kitchen comes from our own gardens! We use all kinds of fresh and dried herbs to complete every dish.
