Basic steps to make gula melaka:
1. Climb a young coconut tree to look for an unopened flower stalk.
2.. The upper petal of the flower-bdearing stalk is bound shut to prevent the bud opening.
3. . The flower-bearing stalk is bent gradually downward and the tip is cut off so that the sap can ooze out unhampered.
4. The sap is boiled until it becomes a thick orange-brown mass which is then stirred until it crystallizes.
5. The mixture is poured into bamboo canes where it cools and turns so hard that you have then to grate or chop it.
A simple way of boiling the sap.
