Caramel syrup is like the icing on the cake (or should I say, the sprinkle on the latte) - it takes your coffee from meh to mesmerizing. And the best part? It's ridiculously easy to make at home. Like, easier than making a decent cup of coffee (just kidding, that's not that hard either, but you get the idea).
So, what do you need to make this magical elixir? Just a few simple ingredients: granulated sugar, water, and cream of tartar (remember, that's the magic ingredient). Oh, and a saucepan - don't try to make it in a microwave, trust me, it won't end well.

Now, here's the part where I tell you to combine the sugar, water, and cream of tartar in a saucepan and heat it up until the sugar dissolves. Sounds easy peasy, right? Well, it is, until you start to stir and stir and stir and wonder if you'll ever reach the caramelization point. But don't worry, it's worth it - I promise.
