Making Rock Candy *parent supervision required! ​ ​ ​

What you will need: ● A narrow glass jar ● 2-3 of white sugar ● 1 cup water ● A wooden skewer/chopstick and a clothespin OR string and a pencil ● Food coloring (optional) ● Stove or microwave

1. Bring the water to a boil, and slowly add the sugar while stirring. Make sure the sugar is dissolving. Stop adding sugar once no more will dissolve (saturation!). Add food coloring and stir if desired.

2. Set aside the saturated sugar solution to cool for at least 20 minutes. During this time, take your skewer (or string) and dip into the saturated solution, then dredge in a bit of sugar. Set aside to dry.

3. Before pouring the solution, clip a clothespin to the top of the skewer/chopstick and suspend into the jar. You could also tie the string to a pencil and rest on top of the jar. Make sure the skewer or string does not touch the bottom of the jar.

4. Pour the saturated solution into the jar leaving a little bit of space at the top. Place in an area where the jar will not be disturbed for 1-2 weeks. Once the crystals have reached your desired size, gently crack the surface and pull out the skewer/string and enjoy!
