The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.
The pineapple is native to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple plant to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. The fruit, particularly its juice, has diverse uses in cuisines and desserts.
Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant normally propagates from the offset produced at the top of the fruit or from a side shoot, and typically matures within a year.

I ordered some coffee syrups on sunday to make more fun matcha lattes and havent received a notification from the shop yet
I checked the reviews and some of them said they never received their order
I'll wait until next week to contact them about it
Syrups are like...super easy to make. Simple syrup is equal parts by volume water and sugar, heavier syrup is more sugar. Simmer the combo with whatever you wanna flavor it with for like 20 minutes or so. You can dial it in to your own specific tastes and its pretty fun to mess around with.
I have a friend who casually makes syrups and recently made a good lavender one. Maybe I can try to convince them to make a catnip one next.
Ive made simple syrups, these ones are flavors that aren't easy to make at home
