    Is it actually super saturated? Those solutions tend to rather unstable, though I’ve never played around with a super saturated sugar solution before.

      Saturated at 100℃ is 490gms per 100mls or about 40 pounds per gallon. Most recipes call for 1 pound (2 cups) per gallon. A lot of people will double or triple that, but for it to be supersaturated at 0℃ you would still need about 15 pounds, so even taking it from boiling to iced, most people won’t be supersaturating it.
