Agave syrup

Agave syrup is thinner than honey and about 1.5x sweeter than table sugar. Because you need less of it, precision is vital to avoid cloying sweetness. Its high solubility makes it perfect for cold drinks, where weighing ensures consistent flavor balance every time.

Weigh for drinks, dressings, and baking; reduce other liquids slightly in batters.

Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Store sealed at room temp; crystalizing is rare, just warm if it thickens.

FAQ

Baking with Agave: Any tips?

Agave browns much faster than sugar. Reduce your oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) to prevent burning the outside of your cake before the inside is done.
