Kurma

Ramaa Prakash from Acton, MA, USA asks:

"Hello Kurma, I tried out your rasgoola recipe and I had a follow-up question. What do I do if I need to make more than one batch of rasgoolas? The syrup tastes great, but I don't want a gallon of syrup getting wasted at the end of 2 or more batches.

Can I somehow re-use the first batch of syrup to make a 2nd batch? Thanks.."

My answer:
"Yes I don't see why you can't re-use it. It will be of a slightly different concentration so it might have to be 'tweaked'. Otherwise, I have successfully re-used leftover rasagulla syrup in making drinks - I strain it then use it as the sweetening agent in lassis and lemonades, for instance."
