Mike, that's good feedback. My "strainer" was one of the flat ones, a grease splatter guard. I had good enough results that I didn't make any plans to go further with my syrup making, but you are definitely taking it to the next level. Looking forward to hear of your results. I'll look for my pics tonight -- filled my phone to capacity and had to move stuff off for sorting/deleting/saving, so they're not handy at the moment...

I'm looking forward to your comparisons with Aunty Lilikoi, BG Reynolds, and your home-made syrup. Theoretically fresher homemade is better, but you never know. The Aunty Lilikoi gets good reviews here.

By the way, my coffee filtered syrup was fairly clear. My strainer-made syrup was a bit cloudy, but fine. It gives cocktails a nice flavor and adds a bit to the color. I have a feeling my syrup won't last super long either...
