Ingredients
200 servings
- 3.5 oz black sugar ((kurozato 黒砂糖 or Kokuto 黒糖))
- ½ cup sugar ((to taste))
- ½ cup water
Steps
-
In a small saucepan, mix 3.5 oz black sugar, ½ cup sugar (to taste), and ½ cup water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Tip: This kuromitsu is quite rich, so feel free to reduce the amount of granulated sugar or omit it entirely, to your preference.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly.
-
Allow it to cool and transfer to an air tight jar/bottle. Keep in the refrigerator up to a week.
