Pour the sugar and salt into a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron skillet. Add water and place the pan on the stove over medium heat. It is advisable to add a couple of drops of lemon juice or a pinch of citric acid so the sugar does not crystallize again; this can happen when heating a low-quality product.
