Something you can make with Agave syrup
Origin
Agave syrup is derived from the sap of the agave plant, which is native to Mexico. The plant has been used for centuries by indigenous people in Mexico as a sweetener. The sap is extracted by cutting the leaves of the agave plant and collecting the liquid that flows out. This liquid is then heated to evaporate the water content and create a thick syrup. Agave syrup has gained popularity as a natural sweetener and alternative to sugar, especially in vegan and gluten-free recipes.
