Author's Notes

Choose the best quality Gula Melaka. It makes a lot of difference to the taste of the palm sugar syrup.

Pure Gula Melaka should be soft. Those hard ones have sugar added.

It is good to make concentrated Gula Melaka syrup and dilute it as needed.

This recipe makes under 1 cup of palm sugar syrup.
