*You'll know the mixture is boiling when you see lots of tiny looking bubbles and the mixture starts to rise. I started the timer a few seconds after the bubbles started and then it came to a full blown boil.
** If you get any “clumps” while/after cooling, just whisk until smooth again!
*** Caramel can be stored in the fridge for two weeks.
