But he simmers that until it turns to like a caramel liquid from there, they wait for that to kind of settle and for it to lose some of the heat.

So it kind of uh gets a little bit sticky and hardens. They add some milk they twist it up. They wait for the perfect moment, wait about 30 minutes for it to cool down, and then it goes to the stretching room, wow that aroma that cloud of steam and smoke that smells like a bathtub of caramel roasted caramelized sugar.
