Instructions
Step 1: Mix water with granulated sugar in a saucepan. Heat slowly while stirring until all sugar is dissolved.
Step 2: Dip a wooden stick or string into the solution, then cover it in sugar to help seed the crystals.
Step 3: Hang the seeded stick or string in the cooled solution, ensuring it doesn't touch the sides of the jar. Let it sit in a cool place for several days to allow crystals to form.
For best results, ensure your sugar solution is fully saturated and use clean jars and sticks. Add food coloring and flavor extracts after cooling the solution.
