Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make caramel syrup from sugar? Prepare the products according to the list. I recommend taking bottled or filtered water. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanilla or vanillin (take it on the tip of a knife).

Step 2

Step 2
Pour one third of the sugar into the saucepan in which you will cook the caramel. It is advisable to take dishes with a thick bottom so that nothing burns or sticks to the bottom. Place the saucepan on the stove.

Step 3

Step 3
Melt the sugar over low heat until light brown. The sugar will sizzle and gurgle, so be careful.

Step 4

Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the stove and add the rest of the sugar, quickly stirring the whole mass. The melted sugar will quickly harden and caramelize, this is normal.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour water into the sugar mixture and add vanilla sugar. Place the saucepan back on the stove. Cook the caramel at a low simmer, skimming off any foam if it forms. Stir the sugar mass with a spatula or spoon. Keep the caramel on the heat until all the sugar has completely dissolved.

Step 6

Step 6
Caramel sugar syrup should not have a liquid, but not a thick consistency. Boil it to this state for 7-10 minutes. If you boil it down too much, the sugar can simply harden and turn into caramel. The time will vary depending on the characteristics of your stove.

Step 7

Step 7
Caramel sugar syrup is ready! It is amber-brown in color, transparent and appetizing, shimmering in the light with all the colors of the rainbow!
