Cooking sugar (Slideshow version)
Stage 1/13 : 5 min.
You will also need a sugar thermometer ( up to 200°C or 392°F) or even better, an electronic thermometer.Pour water, a few lemon juice (or vinegar) drops, and sugar into a pan.
The exact volume of water doesn't matter, because sugar starts to cook only when all the water is evaporated. So it's not necessary to use very much water.
