Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 3 tbsp water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir just until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the caramel turns a deep amber — the color of dark honey — about 10–12 minutes. Watch closely once it begins to color, as it can darken quickly.
