So start by separating a wide pan with a handle, add the sugar and place over medium heat. Try to use a pan with a thicker bottom to prevent the caramel from burning, this way the heat will be distributed evenly.
We recommend using the refined sugar as brown sugar could give the syrup a bitter taste and a darker color.
The ideal is to stir little by little in circular movements until the sugar melts, but don't stir the sugar too much to avoid increasing the chances of it burning.
When it melts, add the hot water little by little, and keep the pan on the heat until it reaches the thickness and color we know of caramel, it will be at the right point when it comes out of the pan.
As soon as it reaches the right point, immediately remove it from the heat and don't let it start to boil.
