Melted syrup is extremely hot. Do not touch the hot pan or syrup with bare hands to avoid severe burns.

In a pan with even heat distribution, add 150g white sugar, 150g maltose, and 1g salt. Heat over medium-high heat without extra water until the sugar completely dissolves into a dark brown caramel syrup.
