Notes

Unoqop’s Advice:

  1. You can use vegetable oil instead of ghee.
  2. You can keep it in the fridge for several weeks
  3. It is crucial to keep it in a container with lid
  4. If you want to know when is the proper time to turn off the heat, pour some of the syrup into cold water. If it solved in the water, you need to cook it still.
