Instructions (8 steps)

01Pour 3 tablespoon water and 1/2 cup [100g] sugar into a saucepan.
02Bring to a simmer (uncovered) over medium-low to medium heat.
03Once the mixture turns a caramel color (it should turn after reaching 350F/175C), slowly and very carefully add the boiling water (I pre-heated the water my countertop hot water kettle).
04Add 2 1/2 cups [500g] sugar and bring to a low simmer.
05Add a slice of lemon. The lemon will keep the syrup from crystalizing as it simmers.
06Turn the heat down to low and let the syrup simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes.
