Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and the water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Once the mixture is clear, stop stirring and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the caramel turns a deep amber — the color of dark honey — about 8–10 minutes. Watch closely once it begins to color, as it can darken quickly.
