◾After 48 hours you'll notice it draws moisture out of fruit and that results in combining with the sugar and it creates a syrup. 

◾So now its time to separate the amla wedges from syrup. Please don't throw the syrup, rather cook it on slow flame for 8-10 minutes until color changes to golden brown. In this way, we will receive our amla honey syrup.
