Lower heat to medium/low and allow to boil for 4 minutes while whisking.
Next add in butter and stir until butter is melted. Remove from heat and mix in maple extract.
Allow syrup to set for 5 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.

Notes
Cooking Tip: It is essential not to overheat and burn the sugar. Even a small amount of overcooking the sugar will ruin the taste of the syrup.Serving tip: It is best served a little warm. If it cools all the way, it will become very hard to pour out.
