Measure 1 cup of water and pour it into a saucepan.

5

Continue cooking the mixture until it turns a brown color, which may take a while.

To check if the sugar syrup is ready, take a stick and dip it into ice water to see if it hardens and becomes crispy.

If the syrup is sticky, it needs more cooking; if it is crunchy, it is ready.
