Combine water and sugar in a saucepan to make caramel; let it cook until it turns amber and golden.

Slice fresh vanilla beans to extract the vanilla.

Add natural sugar to the milk and let it simmer to dissolve the sugar and infuse the vanilla flavor.

Incorporate eggs into the milk mixture and strain to remove any shells.

Add a splash of whiskey to the mixture for flavor.

Prepare ramekins by adding the caramel to the bottom before pouring in the custard mixture.

Place the ramekins in a larger pan and add water to help cook the flan evenly.
