Instructions:

2. Heat up a medium sized saucepan

Next, head up a medium-sized saucepan and pour your 1/2 of cup of authentic Canadian maple syrup into your saucepan. Heat your mixture at a medium setting. Make sure to bring your maple syrup starts to boil. Once your maple syrup begins to boil, make sure to lower your heat setting to medium-low.
