Rock Candy is the product of the further refining by recrystallization of pure cane sugar. In fact, it is the purest form of sugar available because all impurities are excluded as the large crystals form. The crystal growth is based on the particular characteristics of sugar (sucrose) chemistry and cannot be done with the various "sugar free" substitutes seen in the market.
For centuries Rock Candy has been recognized as having marked therapeutic and preservative qualities. In fact, in the West, sugar was used only as a medicine or preservative up to the middle of the 18th century when people "discovered" it made a sweet treat as well.
Shakespeare in Henry IV (1596) referred to rock candy's therapeutic value as a throat soother for long winded talkers.

If I remember correctly - make a simple syrup of sugar and water - half sugar half water - boil until all the sugar desolves and becomes slightly thickened. Get a jar with a tight fiting lid punch a hole in the lid and insert a piece of twine (cotton such as butchers twine) pour the syrup into the jar with the string hanging in the liquid. I can't remember how long it takes but I think that is the correct method.
