Ingredients

  • 300g de raw cane sugar
  • 250ml de water

Turn off the heat when the syrup reaches the desired consistency (neither too thin nor too thick, as it thickens more as it cools).

Dica: If you let it cook too long, the syrup can harden into a chewy candy.

5

Transfer the syrup to a heat-resistant glass container only after it has warmed slightly, to prevent the glass from cracking due to extreme heat.

5min

Dica: Wait for it to warm up before handling and storing safely.

6

Let it cool completely to achieve the final syrup consistency for serving with coffee, toast, or flour.

Dica: Store tightly covered in the refrigerator to preserve it longer.
