Artisanal Birch Syrup, Small Batch, 40 mL

40 mL bottle

Europeans and Indigenous peoples have tapped and made birch syrup for centuries. Traditionally used for medicine, sweetener, and to flavour drinks like mead and wine, birch is NOT like maple. The colour is not only darker, the consistency often thicker, but it also has a flavour profile of molasses, brown sugar, caramel, and cherry. Pair it with salmon, roasted veg, or, our favourite way at Sweetwater, drizzled over vanilla ice cream!

Description

While maple syrup has a sap to syrup ratio of 40/50:1, birch’s ration is 100/120:1. It is also more difficult to boil down because it contains fructose and glucose, making it more likely to burn. This fructose, glucose combination means that birch has a lower glycemic index than maple syrup—making it a reasonable option for diabetics. Birch sap isn’t dependent on the weather; it runs at the same time no matter what! This can make collecting it and storing it quite tricky because the weather is usually warmer and its propensity to ferment is greater than maple. For these reasons, birch syrup is harder to produce. We take great pride in our artisanal birch syrup here at Sweetwater. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
