Ingredients

  • 60ml tonic water
  • 120g granulated sugar
  • 180ml double cream

Remove from the heat and whisk in cream and salt. It will steam and splatter a bit, just keep whisking until the cream is completely incorporated and caramel is smooth.

if you want a thicker sauce, put it back on the stove and reduce it for 1 minute.
