Notes
Please note that i have mentioned 1 and 1/2 c of sugar in the video link but only 3/4 c to 1 c sugar here in the recipe. This is because i used a different brand for my first batch and felt it was less sweet. So i had to use more.
3/4 c of sugar is ideal if you are using coarse grain white sugar. Feel free to adjust sweetness.
