Those who can't get enough of sweets after Fat Thursday will certainly be happy to hear that there is not much time left until the next high-calorie holiday. We are talking about Carmel Day , which falls on March 5.
This sweet, chewy mass is a perfect addition not only to all kinds of cakes and cookies , but can also be used to diversify the experience of drinking black tea. Intense notes of sweetness and a distinctive scent characteristic of caramel together with the strong, classic taste extracted from tea leaves will win the hearts and taste buds of many infusion connoisseurs!
How to make caramel at home?
Preparing caramel may seem like a complicated process, but nothing could be further from the truth! The recipe for homemade caramel requires only two ingredients - sugar and water. Of course, to diversify the taste, you can also use vanilla extract, salt or cocoa, but this decision depends on your preferences.
- Place the pot on the hob or stove. Pour sugar into it and pour water over it.
- Heat everything over low heat. Don't forget to mix! We want the sugar to dissolve evenly and not to burn.
- Once the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil, stop stirring.
Pay attention to the color of the caramel! It should be amber, light brown. The dark color indicates that the caramel has been burnt and will be bitter.
After preparing your own home-made caramel, you can add it to tea , which already contains the aroma of sweet mass. This addition will only enhance the taste experience!
