Answer 1

Here's the recipe from wikipedia:

The most common recipe is:

* 2 cups sugar (white processed sugar)
* 1/4 cup water
* 1/4 cup lemon juice

The ingredients are brought to heat on a stove until the mixture reaches about 250F.[1] This puts the sugar into the hard ball stage (see candy for an explanation of stages of sugar).

The key is getting the right temperature.

If you want a pre-made product, try Nad's. My friend swears by it & it washes off easily.
