RE: Botanical Garden Tours : #023 Caryota Mitis : Fishtail Palm / Fischschwanzpalme
Danke für diesen sehr informativen Artikel... Würd mich interessieren wie dieser Zuckersaft so schmeckt! Süss na klar, aber was sonst noch an Aroma da so mitkommt. Weisst du eventuell mehr Adalger?
I never tried it before, but I found this article about it being a widespread used sweetener in Sri Lanka .. it also tells how the sugar is collected and prepared.

To shorten it down: When the colleted juice is boiled down it becomes a sticky and intensely sweet syrup with the color and thickness of honey.
This is "kithul" syrup, thats what they call it locally. They describe the taste as woody, floral, smoky and even savory. I hope this helps a bit.
Thank you @mondoshawan for that excellent question ^^
Thanks for your answer man...Hopefully I gonna find some "kithul" someday ;)
You are welcome !! .. I am sure that if you find a supply shop for indian cuisine, or maybe a general asia store, you can get it there, must be amazing in a tea for some experimental flavours ^^
