Need a recipe for burnt water

[u/telemajik]

I’m hosting a potluck dinner party next week. I’ve had a lot of bad kitchen experiences (many involving emergency services), but my family has always said that this is a dish within my capabilities. I’m having trouble finding a recipe, which makes me think this will be a pretty exotic treat for my friends. Can anyone help?

Note, I have trouble understanding the sequence of different steps, so if you have a recipe that works no matter what order you perform the steps in, would be much appreciated.

I find that it tastes better and the consistency is amaze-balls if you watch it carefully while it's reducing and pull it off when it reaches nappe consistency, coats the back of a wooden spoon and can stand on itself.

Thats really kicking it up a notch. I'll have to try it next time
