Infographic Project:
Making Maple Syrup From Tree to Table
For this project, I wanted to Illustrate the process of making pure maple syrup. My family makes maple syrup for a living, so it is a process I am very familiar with. The goal of this infographic is to communicate without words an understanding of the process from tapping a tree to the finished product.
Five Steps:
1. Tap the trees (preferably sugar maple)
2. Collect the sap (and bring it to the sugar house)
3. Boil the sap in the evaporator (until it reaches the temperature of 219 degrees F)
4. Test the syrup density (a hydrometer will tell you if the sugar content is 67 percent)
5. Bottle the hot syrup into clean syrup jugs (cap it with a vacuum seal).
Enjoy!!
