Sam

I've drunk from the tapped maple tree...it's a very light, watery tasting liquid with just a little hint of maple...and I mean...just a little hint.

However, after the boiling down process...it transforms into the most wonderful tasting syrup. I have half a gallon sitting in the fridge right now.

It intrigues me the science that goes into tapping...the measurements that one needs to follow to put in a new tap from the old tap. The science of "reading" the "perfect" temperature to be sure it gets cold enough at night and warm enough during the day.

Wish I had maple trees...I'd tap for sure!
