How to Tap and Make Maple Syrup What Trees Can be Tapped Maple syrup can be made from any species of maple tree. Trees that can be tapped include: sugar, black, red and silver maple and box elder trees. Of all the maples, the highest concentration of sugar is found in the sap of the sugar maple. Generally the ratio of sap to syrup for the sugar maple is 40 to 1 (40 gallons of sap yields one gallon of syrup).
Maple sap, as it comes from the tree is a clear, slightly sweet liquid. The sugar content rages from one to four percent. A device called a hydrometer can be floated in the sap to determine the exact sugar content. Sweeter sap is favored because less water will have to be evaporated to make maple syrup. The sap must be evaporated as soon as possible because the freshest sap makes the best quality syrup.
