Guinness Syrup Recipe
This is a great recipe for St. Patty’s day – especially for breakfast the next morning!

- Mix the tapioca starch with 3 tbsp of water and stir together to form a slurry. You will use this slurry to thicken the beer sauce into a syrup.

- Let it cool for a few minutes and use it warm over pancakes!
