Ever since i got my hands on this liquid brown sugar syrup, i've never worried about the sweetness of my shaved ice again. before, i always dreaded overcooking the sugar and ending up with bitter ice, or not cooking it enough and having my kids complain it was "tasteless." now, i just pour a spoonful into my chilled shaved ice, and it instantly turns a gorgeous amber color. a quick stir, and the sweet aroma fills the air, just like the sweet treat my grandma used to make down the street when i was a kid
