½ cup sugar ((to taste))
½ cup water

Langkah-langkah

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.
