4 tablespoons sugar

Combine sugar with 2 tablespoons of water, heat the mixture. While cooking, stir the mixture until it turns brown. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well in order for the caramel not to be burned and too thick (Note: Cook over low heat! Keep stirring because sugar can get burned easily). Remove from heat.

You can cook a lot of caramel and preserve for later use.
