Thats all for today post (about sugarcane) and hope you all enjoy it. The whole process are kinda "tiring" because you have to clean, peel and crush the sugarcane to extracted its syrup. However, drinking your "work" is one huge satisfaction. By the way, on the last post, I show you all what are we going to use to decorate our tables. And on the same day of extracting the sugarcane, we install the decoration to our department tables.
