Caramel Syrup

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 cup hot water

Method:

Heat a saucepan. Put the 1 cup of sugar in the pan and stir continuously till it changes colour to a golden brown.
When the syrup takes a darker shade add the hot water to it.

You can cool and store this for future use also.

Note:

You have to keep stirring the sugar. Now and then tilt the pan to see that the bottom doesn't stick.
