Hi Eibhlin,

Yes, that is a lot of herbs. Especially slippery elm. That stuff will

thicken up anything. Definitely add more juice or water or something.

Add about another 26 ounces and see what happens. If it is still too

thick, after several hours add some morer and keep adding till it is

where you think it should be. You can always remove some through

evaporation if you get it too thin. You are going to have plenty of

syrup that is for sure. Playing around with herbs is so much fun. You

really get to learn alot. I have actually been toying with the idea of

making up a slippery elm jello. All natural and good for you too.

Course, it wouldn't be quite like gelatin but would be an interesting

experiment.

Don't fret any, your doing great. This is how we learn and you are

taking some giant steps here in the learning process. I commend you for

your effort and willingness to jump right in and learn by doing. Not

many people are willing to do that.
