Honey provides sweetness with a unique flavor profile.

Combine 100g sugar and ½ cup (45g) water in a saucepan.

Add 3 tbsp (5g) vinegar (or lemon juice) and heat over medium-low heat without stirring.

Watch closely for about 8-10 minutes until it turns golden brown.

Quickly remove from heat when it reaches the desired color; be careful as the syrup is extremely hot.

Pour the caramel into cups, dividing it evenly.

In another saucepan, combine 60g sugar, ¼ cup + 1 ¼ tsp (15g) cornstarch, and 2 tbsp (3g) agar.

Add 600g soy or nut milk and stir thoroughly before heating.

Turn on medium heat and continue stirring for the first 3-4 minutes.

Bring to a boil, then add 15g vanilla and 1 tbsp of additional flavoring if desired.

Divide the mixture into cups over the caramel layer.

Cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
