2. Common Issues When Making Mooncake Syrup

Cloudy Syrup

Cause: Cloudiness in the syrup can be due to the type of sugar used or impurities on the utensils.

Solution:

  • For syrup used in soft-textured mooncakes, use refined sugar.
  • Ensure that the utensils used to make the syrup are thoroughly cleaned.

Common issues when making mooncake syrup

Overly Sweet Syrup

Cause: Even with a 1:1 ratio of water to sugar, the syrup can still be overly sweet when using refined sugar.

Solution: Use a combination of 50% refined white sugar and 50% brown sugar for a sweet and flavorful syrup.

Common issues when making mooncake syrup

Foamy Syrup

Cause: Foaming occurs when the acid in lemon reacts with the syrup, usually due to tightly sealed sugar jars.

Solution: Lightly cover the jar and store it in the refrigerator to prevent foaming. Do not use foamy syrup for making cakes.

Common issues when making mooncake syrup

Sugar Sediment at the Bottom of the Jar

Cause: Sugar sediment occurs when sugar crystals come together due to vigorous stirring or pouring the syrup directly from the pot.

Solution:

  • Use a damp cloth to wipe off sugar stuck on the sides of the pot before transferring the syrup.
  • Use a spoon to gently transfer the syrup to the jar.
  • If there is sugar sediment, soak the jar in warm water, dissolve the sugar, and add a few drops of vanilla extract. Cook the syrup again until done.

Common issues when making mooncake syrup

Hardened or Overly Thick Syrup

If the syrup remains at the bottom in a round mass, it is too thick.

Thick syrup

Cause: The syrup is overcooked for too long.

Solution: Gradually add warm water to dilute the syrup. Cook it again on low heat to thin it out.

Bitter Syrup

Cause: Bitterness can result from burning, boiling for too long, or adding lemon zest directly to the syrup.

  • Avoid boiling the syrup for too long or over high heat.
  • Use lemon juice instead of lemon zest.

Common issues when making mooncake syrup

We hope that with these tips, you can successfully make delicious and visually appealing homemade mooncake syrup. Transparent and colorless syrup is best for soft mooncakes.
