Tips:
- Use a heavy saucepan: This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
- Be patient: It takes time for the sugar to caramelize. Don't try to rush the process.
- Don't stir the sugar: Stirring the sugar will cause it to crystallize.
- Let the syrup cool completely: The syrup will thicken as it cools.
- Store the syrup in a jar or bottle: The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
