Put the forefinger in ice water until it gets cold, quickly take it out, plunge it into the syrup, and plunge it back into the ice water. There is no danger of burning the finger by this test if the operation is done quickly. Roll the adhering syrup between the thumb and finger; if it forms a soft ball it has reached the soft ball degree; if it forms a hard ball, which sticks the teeth together on being bitten, it has reached the hard ball.
