She said she remembers that it didn't taste like much other than sweet to her. She did recommend, since sugar is cheap (her words, not mine *laugh*), to use some of that added to the water to speed up the process to make your life easier as it took quite a while to boil it all down :).Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-59042046478774970802021-11-12T18:49:29.017-09:002021-11-12T18:49:29.017-09:00Yay!

I have a hard time with a lot of spice, but the syrup itself might be nice with no spices?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446471087473468726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-15843209536373894752021-10-28T11:55:18.245-08:002021-10-28T11:55:18.245-08:00Wow, this sounds great!
