Home Made Rock Candy?

Question

I'v heard of making home made rock candy, but how! please give me instructions!

Answer 1

Tie a piece of thread to a toothpick. Hang it over a glass full of sugar water. As the water dissolves, the sugar will crystalize on the thread.

Answer 2

Rock Candy Recipe

Ingredients
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
Food coloring
Clean glass jar
String, cut into 6-inch lengths
Pencil


Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of the sugar and the water. Do not boil! Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Gradually add a few drops of the food coloring of your choice and the additional sugar, stirring continuously until all the sugar is dissolved.

Pour the solution into a clean glass jar and tie the pieces of string to the pencil and suspend them across the mouth of the jar so that the ends hang into the sugar water.

Crystals suitable to eat will form in an hour and continue for several days to a week. Pieces can be broken off and eaten after the first hour. (But, try to hold out for big crystals!)

Although you may see quick results in small measure, the larger rock candy crystals you're accustomed to seeing in the candy store will take some time to form.

Yield: 12 ounces

Answer 6

boil water. Add TONS of sugar, till it turns yellowy, super saturate it.

Put the syrupy stuff into a jar (open top) and hang a string or something into it. You might need to use a paper clip or so to weight it.

As it cools, the sugar will crystalize on the string (and sides of the jar) giving you your rock candy.

Answer 7

Dissolve sugar in water. Hang a string into the solution. Sugar crystals will grow on the string.

Answer 8

Not at home, but at school. It's difficult and hardly ever works. Try keeping the string in the water a bit longer.
