Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces palm sugar, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Pour the water into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the chopped palm sugar to the simmering water, stirring constantly until completely dissolved, about 3–5 minutes. The mixture should become smooth and amber-colored.
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer to a serving vessel or storage container and use as a sweetener or dessert topping.
