About Caramel syrup

Caramel syrup is a sweet, pourable syrup flavoured and coloured by caramelized sugar. It may be made from sugar and water or contain additional ingredients, and the term does not establish a single recipe. It is commonly sold in bottles, either plain or as a flavoured commercial syrup.

It is used to sweeten or flavour drinks and desserts. The liquid is usually glossy and viscous, with a cooked-sugar taste that may be light and buttery or darker and more toasted. It is distinct from thicker caramel sauces, which may contain dairy and have a richer, less freely flowing texture.
