The video tutorial explains the process of making maple syrup, starting with collecting sap from maple trees using spiles and buckets. The sap is then filtered and stored in tanks before being boiled in evaporators to remove water and concentrate the syrup. The syrup is tested for consistency and finished in a pan, where its thickness is checked with a hydrometer. Finally, the syrup is bottled and distributed for consumption.
