7) Place the sugar in a pot with the dandelion liquid and boil slowly on low heat. 
Boil for 2-3 hours until the mixture has darkened and has thickened. 
Please remember to check the consistency of the liquid after every hour. 
You do this by taking some in a spoon and leaving it on a plate to cool. Always remember that the cooler liquid will be thicker than the hot one. If you boil the liquid for longer it will become thicker.
