Add 1.5 cup sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally until it turns a beautiful amber color.

When the caramelized sugar is an amber color, pour in step by step hot water and stir well.

Pour the caramel into the bundt pan, swirling it around the bottom and up the sides. Let it cool down.

Add 3 eggs, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup of milk to a blender. Pulse a few times to combine everything, then set the custard aside and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Pour the custard into the caramel-coated bundt pan. Cover it with cooking foil.

Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until the water is about halfway up the sides of the bundt pan.

Bake at 180°C for one hour and a half.

Refrigerate in the pan for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, covering with plastic wrap.

To unmold, place the bundt pan over hot water for about 10 seconds to heat the caramel sauce.

Place a serving plate on top of the bundt pan and flip them together to unmold the flan.
