Ever wondered how to make maple syrup? Curious about why maple sap is sweet, or where it comes from? Then this is the video for you!
Homemade maple syrup is a wonderful free treat and an excellent use of your property. It could even be a source of income if you have enough trees!
A bit late but. While boiling it you can toss in some vinilla bean pods and then leave them in the bottle. The best is about two pods per 250 ml or 8 per liter. The longer you leave them in the stronger the flavor. Age it for one or two years for the best flavor.
Edit: if you use aged maple wood and African black heart, both of which should be as dry as physically possible, you can add in a bit of a smoky woody aroma to the syrup. Throw in some nuts and herbs, I prefer nutmeg, in the fire and that will add it too.
they're canadian aren't they
a buck for an empty plastic bottle?
I always thought maple syrup was from fruits
I have never tasted it so i cant judge that
why do I feel the sudden urge to stick a straw in the tree and just start drinking
How fucking starved were people to have discovered maple sap and cook it.
I’m reminded of that one episode of flapjack. Good times
I learned more about trees in this video than all of my high school science classes.
At 6:40, why is it that the water in the tree expands during the day and contracts at night?Water expands when it solidifies, right?
Or you could’ve just opened the cap and hang it on the spile..
Oh there goes gravity
Why did you have to make another video about this 10 yrs later?
What does the sap taste like??
Awesome man
Sadly I think it's almost impossible to do that in my country, it's tropical and we don't know what winter season is.
humans are just vampires for trees
Eh nice vid bud
The sheer joy of making syrup. This video is so wholesome.
Wow i really like this channel now
The consistency of syrup shown at the end looks a bit thick. If left in storage, it could turn into rock candy- that happened to us once. 🙂
I have a full day of work tomorrow but gotta watch how maple syrup is made cause that’s super important for me right now.

Why am I watching this I live in Florida
i like the cartoon
Well done my friend. I had the pleasure of doing that in Anchorage Alaska when I was a kid.
Hello, I really like your video. Very educational. I am also making a maple syrup video. May I ask how do you get the animation of the maple sap process. Thank you!
That was a great video I used this during my homeschooling lesson plans about different type of trees
great explanation. thanks
Got 750 ML od syrup from 20L of sap collected last week, boiled ot down today… 9 hours.
But were having pancakes for breakfast in the morning amd the trees are still pumpin
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Perfect for my intermediate students learning about the science of maple syrup
