Granulated sugar and water in a ratio of 3: 1 are brought to a boil in an open kettle with stirring, removing the resulting foam. Then close the cauldron with a lid, boil the syrup to a temperature of 108 ℃ and add molasses heated to 50 ℃, then boil it down to a temperature of 115-117 ℃ (test for a weak ball). At the end of cooking, add the essence.
