In a flat bottom Kadai or saucepan add the sugar and keep stirring it continuously. Lt the sugar change to golden brown (If you want to make golden caramel syrup to decorate cakes, add 1/4 cup of water and remove and store it in air tight container).

If you want to make a darker brown syrup then keep stirring till the shade changes. Heat the water and add  hot water to the brown syrup and boil it for another 5 more minutes. Let the syrup cool and store it in air tight container.
