Birch water

[Lucan]

It's in the news as one of the new big trends for 2015, anyone ever made it or birch syrup?

 

At £5/lt for water and up to £200/lt for syryp worth a punt:lol:

Doesn't keep long fresh hence it is usually boiled and either glucose or cheaper sugar added , just over 2euro per litre . I love it , very refreshing drink ..

I have made Birch sap wine

Ahhh Birch... the tree of life, has soo many uses!

 

Interested in this syrup though, might have to try it!

You can't tap birch at this time of year though. If you cut branch off when the sap starts rising it will run like a tap just stick a bucket under it.

Think the Scottish make wine with it

If I'm cutting Birch in the spring I always cut one that I'm going to fell later, put a cup under the cut and enjoy the best drink ever when it's full. Love the stuff.
