Maple sap, as it comes from the tree is a clear, slightly sweet liquid. The sugar content rages from one to four percent. A device called a hydrometer can be floated in the sap to determine the exact sugar content. Sweeter sap is favored because less water will have to be evaporated to make maple syrup.t takes about forty gallons of this slightly sweet sap, boiled down, to make one gallon of pure maple syrup. The sugarmaker concentrates his attention to the front of the evaporator where the boiling sap is turning a golden color as it approaches being maple syrup.
