  2. I forgot to ask: what's brown rice syrup?

  3. Cyndi - Brown rice syrup is a naturally processed sweetener, made from sprouted brown rice. It is thick and mild-flavored. I use it to replace Light corn syrup in many recipes with good success so far.

  5. Possibly - you could also use a light corn syrup too!
