                                  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.
