Can I substitute anything for the orange syrup in the Great Teacher Olegario?

Alternatively, for a less processed option, mix freshly squeezed orange juice with a bit of sugar or honey to taste to mimic the sweetness and flavor of the syrup.

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Great Teacher Olegario?
