Could real maple Syrup be substituted for the natural Sugar?
I love the flavor but I seem to have a problem when I let the mixture cool and pour in my tincture it tries to seize up. Any advice?
How do they taste? Does the flavoring take the tincture taste away somewhat?
What is the total batch size of this recipe? I’m guessing 2’ish cups?
Just trying to decide what size candy I need to make to correctly measure doses.
