Maple Shisha


Recommended Posts

Well, me and Jordanneff tried making some a while back... and didn't care for it. It tastes like maple yes, but it was so buttery/sugary it made me sick. Maybe that's why it's not out there, or maybe (doubtfully) noone else has tried making it.

I was thinking about it, and maybe it would not work too good?? Maple syrup is very thin. Probably not a good idea?? Any thoughts out there??


Well, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have friends who have made mead, which is traditionally made with honey, out of maple syrup, and it works. The only thing is that maple syrup is much sweeter than honey, so you need much less of it than if you are using honey, and probably less than for molasses, too. This is also assuming it's the real stuff, not fake syrup. If it is too thin, you could boil it down to make it thicker, if you wanted to. But as I said, a little goes a long way, because the sweetness and the flavor are pretty strong.

There are so many different grades and types of maple syrup and not all are thin. In fact you can acquire or make maple sugar which is just completely dried syrup.

I think experimenting with maple sugars sounds like a great idea, I think I'm going to try making a maple, cinnamon, and vanilla blend. I can call it french toast or something. I'll see how it turns out. Edited by derogatory
