Randi, my all time favorite cookbook - Joy of Cooking - says that our American "cup" = 1/4 of a liter - so it is more of a coffee cup size than a mug.

I tried to research a substitute for the syrup but I didn't come up with anything.

When I first showed Rascal your card I didn't think he had any reaction because I put it on the floor. But when I picked up the card it was soaking wet - he literally drooled all over it!
That is the greatest book - my Dad turned me on to it, he was the "chef" in our family! He also had a degree in chemistry, and from him and that book I learned a lot about how and why ingredients work together the way they do! So glad to see another "Joy" fan! BTW - I think it was the "original" of the "Joy of..." book trend!
