Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
What is it? Here, in fact, I'm telling you how to make invert sugar syrup at home. We will prepare the products according to the list.
Step 2:
Pour water into the pan and heat it.
Step 3:
Pour sugar into hot water.
Step 4:
Bring the syrup to a boil over low heat.
Step 5:
After that, we put citric acid to sleep.
Step 6:
Mix and cover tightly. Reduce the heat to low and leave to cook for forty minutes.
Step 7:
This is the syrup we will get in the allotted time. It's easy to check the readiness of the syrup. Drop a small amount of syrup on a saucer, cool it quickly and grab it with your thumb and index finger. Quickly squeeze and unclench your fingers, if the syrup forms a so-called "thick thread" between them, then it can be removed from the fire.
Step 8:
Let it cool down by putting it in a cold place or put the pan in a large cup with cold water.
Step 9:
Pour soda diluted in a small amount of water into the cooled syrup. The syrup will immediately begin to bubble and foam, it's not scary, you just need to wait until this process is completed.
Step 10:
It will hiss a little and stop.
Step 11:
After the end of hissing, invert syrup can be considered ready. It will be similar in color and consistency to liquid honey. You can immediately pour it into jars and store it for the future, until the next culinary recipe.
Step 12:

The most important thing is to be clear: inversion is the slow heating of a liquid in an acidic environment. Invert syrup is an indispensable culinary product. It can be used instead of molasses, corn, maple or glucose syrup, and Marshmallow can also be prepared on its basis. Invert syrup is obtained by heating an aqueous solution of sugar with acid, while an inversion process occurs, consisting in the splitting of sucrose into fructose and glucose. Acid (in our case citric acid) is used for inversion. Invert syrup has anti-crystallization and moisture-binding properties, which increases the shelf life of products without loss of quality. Creams, sugar fudge, etc. products made using invert syrup are not candied during storage.
