Handmade golden brown sugar (granules)

The process from sugarcane to sugar grains takes at least 7 to 8 hours. Before the sun comes out, Mother Yang will squeeze the juice from the chopped sugarcane and filter out impurities. Heat the pot quickly with a gas stove to evaporate half of the water, then move it to the firewood and simmer it slowly. This step requires constant stirring with both hands to slowly concentrate the sweetness of the white sugarcane into the sucrose crystals. Also, be sure to avoid rainy days and early morning dew in the mountains when simmering. After heating for four hours, you will see thick syrup, then remove from heat, cool, and press the sugar. To make golden sugar, the temperature must be locked precisely. If you add too much firewood or are not careful, the sugar will turn black and bitter. If the sugar content is insufficient, the pot will not be able to form a sugar cake, thus ruining a year of waiting.
