Hello Paul, I been making my own flavored syrups for about a year to compliment my coffee and tea. I didn't consider marketing my syrups until I received compliments from family about my products. Before I start testing my products to an unbiased audience I need to address some shelf-life and food safety concerns.

The products are simple syrup infused with extracts and natural flavors(mint & vanilla bean) contained in glassed bottles. The syrup that is infused with almond extract seem to have an infinite shelf-life while the the other two that is steeped with fresh mint leaves and vanilla bean respectively go rancid after a few days at room temperature inside my pantry, however shelf-life is extended when stored inside the refrigerator. Like the competitors how can I extend the shelf-life of my syrups to be stored in a pantry at room temperature? Thanks, Dexter
