I happened to think of this one day when I had just made caramel sauce with the microwave. I'm thinking I'll upload more of these syrup and sweets recipes over time.

When hot this is a smooth sauce, but when it cools it will become rather thick. Since it expands and simmers as you heat it, if you use a small container it will boil over. So please use one that's a bit large. For the amount in this recipe, I use a 21 cm-wide bowl. Recipe by Yukirinrin

Steps

1

You can add as much sugar as you like, but even with 5 tablespoons it'll turn out pretty bitter. It can easily boil over, so use as large a heat resistant bowl as possible. Add all of the ingredients together and mix, then heat in the microwaved uncovered for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Once it begins to expand, take it out and stir.
2

It's delicious if you drizzle it on ice cream while it's still hot.

This recipe only makes a little, so I think you'll eat it all, but if you have any left you can store it in the refrigerator for quite a while. Of course you can also freeze it. If the sugar becomes a little grainy, just add a little bit of water and repeat the recipe from the microwave phase.

If you replace the instant coffee with powdered green tea, you can make green tea syrup. In that case, use half the amount of powdered green tea as you would instant coffee!
