make your own rock candy

 

a.. 1 Glass jar or drinking glass

b.. 1 Piece of cotton string

c.. 1 Pencil or stick

d.. 1 Paper clip

e.. 1 Food coloring (optional)

f.. 1 c Water

g.. 2 c Sugar

h.. Additional sugar

Tie a short piece of cotton string to the middle of the pencil or

stick. Attach a paper clip to the end of the string for a weight.

 

Moisten the string very lightly, and roll in a bit of sugar (this

will " attract " the sugar crystals from the syrup to the string).

Place the pencil or stick over the top of the glass or jar with the

string hanging down inside.

 

Heat the water to boiling, and dissolve the 2 cups of sugar into it.

For the biggest crystals FAST, heat the sugar-water solution a SECOND

time, and dissolve as much additional sugar as you can into it. Add a

few drops of food coloring to the solution if you want colored candy.

 

Pour the solution into the prepared glass or jar and leave

undisturbed for a couple of days. Depending on how much sugar you

were able to dissolve into the water, you should start to see

crystals growing in a few hours to a few days.
