Instructions
- 1
Melt the sugar in a pot on low-medium heat for 15 minutes or until it becomes a caramel. Once it darkens to a deep brown, slowly pour the water in and stir quickly to combine.Pro Tip: As soon as the water touches the caramel, it will start splattering, which is extremely hot and dangerous. Be careful as you add the liquid!
