water and sugar to a thick bottomed pan over medium heat.

well until the sugar dissolves completely.

check consistency, dip a spoon in the boiling syrup and let it cool for
few seconds. Now gently touch the sugar syrup with a forefinger. Now touch
your thumb and forefinger together and pull apart slowly and gently.
One-thread consistency is ready when a single thread is formed (thread
should not break) between your forefinger and your thumb when moved apart.
