A novel method for producing amine-aldehyde sulfur scavenging compositions are disclosed, where the method comprises contacting an amine containing component and a aldehyde containing component in the presence of an alcohol at an amine to aldehyde ratio of between about 0.8 and 0.45 for a reaction time and at a reaction temperatures sufficient to produce an amine-aldehyde adduct product having a specific gravity between about 3% and 7% less than the specific gravity of a mixture of starting materials.
