   Ingredients:
   - 2 cups sugar
   - 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice (vinegar may also work, although I haven’t tested it)
   - 1/4 cup water

   Combine all ingredients and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes until mixture has turned a rich amber color.
   Lift the saucepan off the heat occasionally so that the bubbles will calm down and you can keep an eye on the color.
   Move off the heat and allow the mixture to partially cool in the pot until it begins to thicken (about 15 minutes).
   It’s important that the mixture is heated long enough. Otherwise you’ll have problems with the final product being too sticky and not solidifying enough to use.
   Pour the mixture into an air-tight container and allow to cool fully before handling.

   Once completely cooled, this sugaring paste can be applied directly onto the hair and pulled off. Or if you prefer, you can use the sugaring paste just like wax by warming it up and using it with muslin strips.
