How to make Birch Syrup?

Birch sap syrup is a rare and delicious wild sweetener with rich caramel notes, made by tapping Birch trees in early spring when the sap flows. Unlike maple syrup, Birch sap has a lower sugar content, requiring long, slow evaporation—up to 100 liters of sap for just one liter of syrup! Collect sap using a spile and bucket, then simmer it down over low heat until it thickens into a dark, complex syrup. Perfect for drizzling over pancakes, glazing meats, or adding depth to cocktails, Birch syrup is a true forager’s treasure.
