Ingredients
1.5 Cups White Sugar
3 Cups Water, Divided (1.5 cups each)
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

How to:
In a medium saucepan over medium/high heat, add sugar and 1.5 cups water. Stir to dissolve sugar and stir occasionally until it comes to a rolling boil.
Stop stirring and now let the syrup continue to boil at a rolling pace until it boils down and begins to turn an amber colour. (This could take 20-45 minutes) I would begin to check it at 15 minutes and keep a close eye on it from that point on.

When the syrup is almost done, heat the remaining water and set aside. I do this in the microwave using a glass measuring cup.
AS SOON as the syrup turns to the unmistakable colour of caramel, remove from heat.
VERY CAREFULLY (watch splattering) begin to add the hot water and stir. If the syrup begins to harden, just add a bit of heat and continue to stir until it all dissolves then remove from heat.
Finally, add the vanilla and sea salt and stir until the salt dissolves.
Let the syrup cool for about 30 minutes on the stovetop.
Store the cooled syrup in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a month.
