How do you make Coconut Sugar in Thailand

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
Very carefully. First you need Coconut Palm Trees. Climb up and cut chunks off the coconut flower (in over 40 years of travel, I had never even noticed the coconut flowers on Palms...duh..) Many pieces of bark go into a vat, boiled into a liquor juice. Strain and switch to a giant wok where this mixture is stirred and boiled for hours.

Pour the thick, carmel looking mixture into pans. Let harden and cut into pieces and you have a very sweet, toffee tasting, sugar. Thai people actually prefer coconut sugar over sugar cane sugar. If you happen to live in a Coconut Grove, start your own family business.

WTf! to the host: you seemed like you don't even know what's your going into. my suggestion is you have to do a little bit of research before doing this kind of stuff.

@blugreen3264 Research would be nice but I never know exactly what a guide has planned for us and just have to go with the flow. It is still fun and please remember, I make no money from the videos and they are strictly a labor of love. If some happen to inform correctly great! If not, I tried. Thanks anyway for watching. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

@toxiphilliac Thanks so much for the correction. What do I know about snakes except I don't want one near me! Also, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Best regards, Sheila
