Seriously... Making your own rock candy is so easy! It only takes two ingredients to make it. Well, it has three ingredients if you add food coloring. This is a great experiment to do with kids, and they can help too!! :)
Here's what you need:
8oz water
8 tablespoons of sugar
Food coloring (optional)
2 plates (any kind)
Aluminum foil
What to do:
1. Cover two plates with aluminum foil.
Note: Paper plates work best because you are can fold up the sides a little bit.
2. Heat 8oz of water up in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
3. Next, divide the 8oz water up between the two plates.
4. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to each plate and stir together.
5. Optional: Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice to each plate and stir together.
6. Set aside, and let the plates sit out for about 5-6 days.
7. After 5-6 days, you should notice that the water has evaporated, and sugar crystals have formed. Enjoy!! They taste great!! :)
