Tips

  • Do not overtoast the sugar, otherwise it will burn and the caramel brûlée sauce will taste very bitter.
  • If you end up using cold water at this point, the sugar will seize and it will be really hard for it to melt.
  • If the sugar does crystallize a little, you can add in an additional quarter cup of hot water.
  • The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • The sauce should be stored in the fridge and should be good for about 2 to 3 weeks.
