- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a full boil. Prevent sugar granules from collecting on the sides. Avoid stirring.
- Once the entire surface of the sugar is boiling, add the lemon juice. Do not stir.
- Boil for 3 minutes - until the sugar goes from clear to lightly golden.
- Leave the burner on, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 1 tbsp of vegan butter.
- Put back on heat, boil and whisk constantly for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of soy milk. Cook until it reaches a light caramel colour.
- Transfer saucepan to an ice water bath. Whisk vigorously.
- As the caramel cools it will thicken up, if it starts to get too thick add 1 tbsp of soy milk and continue to whisk. Add more soy milk and whisk if needed.
