Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat.

Stir until sugar dissolves, then cook without stirring until it turns golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

In a blender, combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, milk, vanilla essence.

Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Pour the mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
