Master A,
I have been reading my *small* backlog of undeleted Cooks Lists emails and
came across the following. Could you possibly provide some more specifics
about proportions and heating temps to create this syrup?
I only ask because I have tried this recipe before and been really puzzled
why we only use the water. The syrup would be an excellent experiment.
Thanks again
Meliora.
