It talks about the chemical composition of sugar, and how it is broken down into fructose and glucose when heated (the guy says he's a chemist-turned-mixologist). He also talks about how to get 10ml(for example) of sugar syrup to be exactly the equivilant of one teaspoon of granulated sugar. Definitely worth reading. [ Edited by: swizzle 2015-10-09 04:14 ]
