The Low-Down
Caramel, the secret behind many classic desserts, adds a delicious and unique flavour to all sweets. It is sugar that is heated to 340 degrees Fahrenheit (170 degrees Celsius) until the molecules break down, creating a dark golden brown colour.
You can make caramel using two methods: dry and wet. The dry method calls for heating the sugar in a pan until it liquefies and browns. The wet method involves melting the sugar in a pan with a little water, allowing more complex flavours to develop.

Caramel coffee syrup is a fabulous way to add delicious comfort to your morning or afternoon cup of coffee.
