Knik (pronounced Ka-Nick) Birch Syrup has been producing Birch Syrup since 1995. We tap White Paper Birch trees in April. It takes over 100 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Maple syrup, by comparison is approximately 40 to 1. When the sap comes out of the tree, it tastes like ice cold clean spring water with just a hint of sweetness. At that point the sap is only 1-1.5% sugar. We boil the sap to evaporate the water and condense the sugar to 66.5%. Nothing is added in the process.

The distinct spicy-sweet flavor of birch syrup makes it a delightful sweetener with thousands of uses. Put it in tea or hot chocolate. Pour it on ice cream, oatmeal, granola or pancakes. Add it to baked beans, candied yams, BBQ sauce or homemade bread. Birch syrup can be substituted for part or all of the sugar in your favorite recipes. One of our favorites is a Birch milkshake. Let your imagination run as wild as the Alaskan frontier!
