  • Homemade syrups

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 2 12:47:29 2019
    I have this burning question.

    Have any of you ever (or even heard of someone attempting) made mulberry syrup from the SAP of the mulberry tree, a la maple syrup?

    I’m guessing that no-one’s ever attempted this since one can make excellent syrup from the berries. I’m curious, though.

    Thanks, Tatsy

    it looks like there can be a lot of variation within
    these plants and that many will give a milky sap.
    some claims of hallucinogenic properties for some.

    from what i'm finding i would say no, but the ripe
    fruits look to be ok for making syrups from.

    that would be me via googling for mulberry.
    i've not tried it myself and have only had mulberries
    a few times in my life.
