I make syrup out of the tree(s) in my yard.

It’s true. It was such a weird year weather wise that I only got about 2 bottles of syrup. Normally I can get like… 8-10?

A lot of people don’t really know how sap production works, but it really is a pretty limited window

That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree (or some other kinds), go buy a $20 tap or whatever from Amazon. It’s fun and surprisingly piss easy to make syrup at home.

Unless you're an elf baking cookies, we all live outside of maple trees :-D
