warningStay safe

High-temperature syrup causes severe burns, be careful of steam during operation and avoid splashing boiling syrup.

Continue heating the syrup, boil until large bubbles appear, continue cooking until bubbles get larger, until the syrup reaches about 160°C, turns light amber with a faint caramel aroma, then turn off the heat.

Overcooking the syrup will make it bitter and dark, while undercooking will prevent it from solidifying and becoming crispy.
