Directions/做法

start off by making gula melaka syrup
boil 100g gula melaka with 100g water till very thick and concentrated

事先制作马六甲椰糖浆
100克马六甲椰糖和 100克水倒入奶锅、煮至非常浓稠
(看到了吗？比蜂蜜还浓）

weigh out 64g of gula melaka syrup on weighing machine whilst it is hot and pour in coffee (immediately) to get 100g of coffee-gula melaka mixture
stir till syrup dissolves
(DO NOT WAIT TILL THE SYRUP COOLS AS IT WILL HARDEN)
马六甲椰糖浆趁热用称重机称出 64克，立马加入浓咖啡至咖啡水+马六甲椰糖浆重量 = 100克
搅拌至糖浆完全融化
（切勿将糖浆放凉！冷却后的糖浆会硬化）
