I think genuine maple syrup also tastes horrible.
The idea you can get a sweet syrup from trees is
very romantic, and the product looks very pretty,
but it does not taste well. Honey is much better.
Even a simple syrup with a spice flavoring can be
better than natural maple syrup. Maple syrup is
highly overrated.
