Place over high heat and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until the mixture reaches 305 degrees on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove from heat and plunge the bottom of the pan into cold water. Let stand until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a work surface. Hold 2 forks in 1 hand and dip the tines into the syrup. Rapidly wave the forks back and forth over the parchment paper, letting the thin, fine strands fall on the paper. Repeat with remaining syrup. Set aside.
