Ingredients
- 1 x Glass jar or possibly drinking glass
- 1 piece cotton string
- 1 x Pencil or possibly stick
- 1 x Paper clip
- 1 x Food coloring (optional)
- 1 c. Water
- 2 c. Sugar Additional sugar
Directions
- Tie a short piece of cotton string to the middle of the pencil or possibly 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 possibly stick over the top of the glass or possibly jar with the string hanging down inside.
- Heat the water to boiling, and dissolve the 2 c. 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 in a few drops of food coloring to the solution if you want colored candy.
- Pour the solution into the prepared glass or possibly 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 hrs to a few days.
