today we are starting our rock candy experiment! first, we took a wooden skewer and dipped it in water and then in sugar and allowed to dry. this will be the start of the sugar crystals. next we brought 1 cup of filtered water to a simmer and slowly added 2.5 cups of sugar and stirred until completely dissolved. added some food coloring and a couple drops of orange extract as well for flavor. once dissolved allow the sugar syrup to come to room temp and then pour into mason jars or some sort of glass container. using clothes pins we secured the skewers in the jars and now we wait about 5-7 days. this is also an experiment in patience.
