According to Uncle Prayat, the first
step of making palm sugar is picking up the
palm sugar twice a day, in the morning and
in the evening.
After picking up the palm sugar, sift
it with a strainer or
a filter cloth, and then boil the
sugar until it has become dense syrup and
rest it for a while before dripping it in a
container.
