You make a hole in the tree, insert a tap, and place the container underneath.Clear sap (maple water) will come out. Just boil that over a fire, and you're done.For the record, making one liter of syruptakes about 40 liters of sap!I mean, we could, but...*The hole will naturally plug itself, so there's no harm to the tree's development.You're not getting any sap out of them right now, y'know?Huh?
Why not?The harvesting season for maple syrup
is in early spring, around when the snow starts to melt.You make a hole in the tree, insert a tap, and place the container underneath.After a harsh winter, they'll be packed full of sap smooth as water.
How It's Made:
Maple Syrup
There's only a few weeks when the sap can be harvested.
