NOTES

  1. To check whether the syrup has attained 1 string consistency, take 2 drops of syrup between your index finger and thumb and open them opposite to each other. If a string is made up, your 1 string  consistency sugar syrup is ready.
    If string is not making out at all or not properly, boil the mixture for a couple of minutes more.
