Agave syrup is made from the sap of the agave plant, primarily the blue agave. The process begins by harvesting the plant's core, known as the piña, which is then cooked to convert its starches into sugars. After cooking, the sap is extracted and filtered, followed by a heating process to further break down the sugars and create a syrupy consistency. Finally, the syrup is cooled and bottled for use as a natural sweetener.
