Just a heads up on the gomme syrup. The gum arabic powder clumps very easily and then sinks to the bottom and scalds if you're not careful. Big mess. I found this out the hard way. I still have some gum arabic left and next time I make it I'll know better than to just dump it in and try to stir it around. I was playing with the idea of either using a powdered sugar sifter to gradually add it...or using a blender to really get the powder dissolved into some water before I add it to my pot.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
