How Do You Make Molasses At Home?
To make molasses at home, start by harvesting mature sugar cane or sorghum plants and stripping the leaves. Next, extract the juice from the stalks by either crushing or pressing them. Boil the juice until it thickens and darkens, then strain it through cheesecloth to remove any impurities. Continue to boil the strained juice until it reaches the desired consistency and color, making sure to stir it regularly to prevent burning. Once the molasses has reached the desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool before storing it in an airtight container.
