Sorghum Syrup WITHOUT A Press Or Juicer

*WARNING* DO NOT FEED RAW SORGHUM LEAVES OR ANY PART OF THE SORGHUM GREENS TO PETS OR LIVESTOCK without researching first. Raw sorghum greens contain toxic levels of cyanide and should be properly handled/prepared prior to feeding to animals. For your syrup, use fully mature stalks as they contain lower levels of cyanide. Once cooked the cyanide is removed therefore it is safe to consume the syrup. Never use stems/canes that are less than 24" in height for your syrup as the concentration of cyanide is too high.
