Notes

  • Standard US-size cups and spoons are used. 1 Cup=235 ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml, 1 tablespoon = 15 ml.
  • The nutritional value above mentioned is using a full 1/2 cup of sugar, it would be less as we are poaching and not using the complete sugar syrup.
  • The leftover sugar syrup can be refrigerated and used as syrup in other recipes.
