Hi Chris and all
In Canada, white sugar is sold in 2kg bags. If you pour the contents
of the bag into a 2 litre measuring cup, it fills it exactly.
Because 2 litres of water weighs 2 kg, a 2:1 syrup recipe would
consist of 2 2kg bags of white sugar mixed into 2 litres of water
yielding 6 kg of syrup. My point is that water and white sugar are
of equal mass regardless of the measuring system used.
