  Hi @hanan-alem

  While invert sugar is a product you can buy ready-made, you can also prepare it at home.

  Invert sugar is a mixture of glucose and fructose used in baking to improve texture and extend the freshness of products.

  Here’s a simple recipe to make invert sugar at home:

  Ingredients:

  – 500 grams of sugar

  – 240 ml of water

  – 1 gram of citric acid (approximately 1/4 teaspoon) or 2 grams of cream of tartar

  – 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

  Instructions:

  1. Dissolve the sugar:

  – In a saucepan, mix the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. Add the acid:

  – Once the sugar is dissolved, add the citric acid or cream of tartar. This will help break down the sugar into glucose and fructose.

  – Stir well to ensure the acid is fully incorporated.

  3. Cooking:

  – Let the mixture simmer gently. You don’t need to stir constantly, but make sure it doesn’t burn. Simmer the mixture for about 20-30 minutes.

  – Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature. It should reach 114°C (237°F).

  4. Neutralize the acid:

  – Once the mixture has simmered long enough and reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat.

  – Add the baking soda. This will neutralize the acid and you’ll see the mixture bubble a bit. Stir well.

  5. Cool and store:

  – Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

  – Pour the invert sugar into a clean, dry glass jar with an airtight lid.

  – Store in a cool, dark place.

  Homemade invert sugar can last several months if stored properly. Use it in your baking recipes to improve texture and better preserve your products.

  Greetings.

    Good morning.

    I have the same receipt as well. We also have big problem with ingredients. I cannot take 5 kg of invert sugar as the companies selling. So I fund the solution.

    Best regards – Elena
