About Caramelised sugar syrup

Caramelised sugar syrup is a liquid sweetener made by heating sugar to develop caramel colour and flavour, then retaining or restoring it in a syrup form. Recipes and products can differ in sugar source, water content, and any added ingredients; the name does not establish one standardized formulation. It may be sold bottled or prepared for immediate use.

The syrup is glossy and pourable, though its viscosity varies with concentration and temperature. It brings sweetness alongside cooked, toasted sugar notes, which can become deeper or more bitter with stronger browning. It is used as a sweetener, flavouring, or colouring ingredient, and is distinct from dry caramelized sugar that has cooled and hardened.
