✔️Expert tips
- Foam. There will be some foam after boiling that will most likely disappear after syrup is cooled. If it doesn’t, strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve. You can also remove it with a spoon.
- Spoiled coconut sugar. If using coconut sugar that has not been stored correctly, it can give you a syrup with some off-flavors and weird smell. Make sure to always keep opened coconut sugar away from sunlight and well closed, avoiding the ingredient to have any contact with moisture.

🫙Storing
Coconut syrup will keep for longer if stored in the fridge. After cooled, place syrup into a clean jar or container with a lid. Keep in the fridge when not using it.
It keeps for about 3 months. If any mold is spotted, or syrup starts to look cloudy, it is best to discard and make a new one, as syrup might not be safe for consumption.
