## Tips

- The first batch of apple cider was burnt because it was over-reduced, avoid burning it by carefully monitoring the reduction process.
- Start with a medium-high heat for the sugar.
- The consistency will go from sandy to chunky/grainy and then liquidy as the sugar melts.
- When adding hot water, be cautious of the steam.
- Cut the heat once the butter is melted before adding the heavy whipping cream.
- Let the caramel cool down before closing the lid and storing it.
