    All this talk about syrup has me craving pancakes.🥞What are your favorite toppings? Ours include: real maple syrup, chopped nuts, and fresh fruit. The kiddos like mini chocolate chips because they melt faster. 🔥

    This reminds me of Maangchi's (Queen!) video of making 쌀조청 Ssal jocheong Korean rice syrup. Very interesting process, I recommend giving it a watch!
    Thanks for the great video Emmy!

    tl;dr
    It is not fermentation! It is enzymatic conversion! Fermentation is a process of converting maltose and other sugars into ethanol (and some other alcohols, some phenols and esters in higher temperatures). This is amylases converting starch to maltose. Please do not confuse those two different processes.

    Hi Emmy! I can't help not to comment on this video. I'm from Europe and we have quite a long tradition of making maltose this way you did on the video! We would normally stop the wheat (or more often barley) a bit earlier than you did to preserve starch inside the grain, though. This sprouted grain we call MALT – hence the MALTOSE – sugar derived from malt. But what you do next is NOT at all called "fermentation" !!!! It is called "mashing" – activating an enzyme that emerges during sprouting in grain. This enzyme in exactly 63°C (145°f) is able to convert starch (long chain of carbohydrates) into maltose (double bond glucose). You did that with your rice! The sweet water you have filtered out we call WORT. You can boil it down into a syrop – like you did. Or better!!! – Let it ferment (now it is called fermentation). Depending on the kind of yeast you use for fermentation (top – high temperature yeast, or bottom – low temperature) you'd get one of two most exciting european drinks. One is called Ale, and the other called Beer. I really recommend doing one of those drinks in next video!! 🙂

    Everything you do is cool, but this one especially! I'm familiar with malt syrup, wheatgrass, and glutinous rice but never knew they had this relationship! Thanks for sharing!
