Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cup granulated white sugar divided
- 1/4 cup water room temperature
- 1 ½ cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Add ½ cup sugar and ¼ cup water to a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium/low and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, continue to stir, and cook, scraping the sides of the saucepan, until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the caramel has formed, add the remaining sugar and give it a stir.
- Slowly pour in boiling water and lemon juice, stirring constantly. Whisk to combine until sugar completely dissolves.
- Continue to simmer on medium/low heat, for about 15-20 minutes, until a rich amber color and a slightly thickened consistency.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Pour into a jar and keep it at room temperature for 10-12 weeks.
- If the syrup is too stiff, add it to a saucepan and thin it out with some water until you get the desired consistency.
- If the syrup is too thin once cooled, add it to a saucepan back on the stove for another few minutes to thicken up more.
