- Cook for about 10-15 minutes before adding sugar. It will begin to reduce in this time, then add sugar to taste, allowing to continue cooking until syrup reaches desired thickness (thick enough to coat a spoon). Keep in mind it will get a little bit thicker as it cools down.
- In a bowl, combine heavy cream with sugar and vanilla to taste.
- Beat cream until you reach desired thickness.
