this messed up world

During these five years, Miru also found some ingredients as he wished. At this time, he had to admire how wonderful this messy world is. There are many unusual trees in the very ordinary World of Warcraft forest, not flowers and plants, but trees, all kinds of strange things. Wonderful trees with strange shapes grow all kinds of strange ingredients.

For example, pink lemons that look like jumbo strawberries grow on trees that are pink like cotton candy.Strings of milky white wind chimes hang on the branches of light green butterfly-shaped leaves, each of which is as big as a thumb. The shell becomes a large white rice grain.

There are also dark green fruits like pomegranates, which are full of curved beans when opened.Different varieties of rye are ground into dark brown low-gluten flour, and the most important flavor for brewing beer - Hubu, that is, hops, also known as hops, which should have been green hops that look a bit like pine cones. Here is also a variation of orange.

And honey, which can never be replaced, finally has a substitute.

That's what Ufa found. He once told Miru that he found something that needs to be picked up in a bag or a bucket. Miru followed him. It was a big blue tree with a wonderful appearance, no leaves, a tree Many curly branches spread out, and the ends of the branches are fat like spindles, and the color transitions from the blue of the original branches to the white spindles.

No matter how you look at it, the tree is very strange. How can it carry out photosynthesis without leaves, or can the whole bark carry out photosynthesis?That really saves the nutrients of the leaves.

Looking closely, the white spindle looked like a pile of entangled silk, the whole thing was like a sponge, it was very soft when Miru poked it.

Ufa asked Miru to hold the bucket and connect it under the white spindles, and then he stretched out his hand to squeeze the palm-sized white spindles, and the white translucent liquid dripped into the bucket like this.

Miru reflexively stretched out his fingers to dip the liquid, rubbing his fingers sticky, licking...

"Sweet?! Could it be sugar!" The cat's eyes were raised up, shining brightly, and its tail was wagging.

Ufa nodded. He found it when he was hunting. He accidentally bumped into the branch of the white spindle when he passed quickly. The liquid was a little sticky on one of his shoulders. It didn’t have a strong smell. Honey is similar, but not as fragrant and honey-specific flavor, just sweet.

So at that time, he went back to look for it, only to find this strange tree. There are such trees around here, so it is not rare.

Squeeze casually against the white spindle like milking a cow, and fill a bucket of white translucent liquid in no time.

When Milu returned home, he immediately began to try cooking, and also recorded the production volume to know the sugar content of this sugar tree sap.

From past memories, except for honey and those sugars obtained from trees such as maple, tropical palms such as fan palm or desert plant agave, the extraction of commonly used sucrose or beet sugar is very complicated and troublesome Yes, it needs to go through a lot of processing steps.

The difference is that after sugars such as honey are separated from the hive or the tree trunk is dug to get the sap, the liquid components obtained are very simple, usually only water and sugar, and honey is a high-grade sugar containing up to [-]%. Sugar, this kind of liquid with simple ingredients only needs to be heated and concentrated to increase the sugar content and reduce the water content, and then rapidly cooled to crystallize into sugar crystal particles.

The juice obtained from sugar cane and sugar beet must be obtained by pressing. These juices contain many other components such as protein, carbohydrates, tannin and some pigments. These substances will affect the flavor of sugar when heated, forming bad smell.

Therefore, the manufacturing process must remove these impurities. The things used to remove impurities include lime, protein or animal blood. Add the squeezed sweet juice and boil it. After the first treatment is skimmed off, the water will be removed by heating and concentration, and sugar crystals will form.
