Things You'll Need
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 tsp. warm water
- Mixing bowl
- Mini ice cube tray or sugar mold
- Spatula
- Paper plate
- Non-toxic food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Place the granulated sugar in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
Add the warm water to the well you made and mix the sugar and water together by kneading the mixture by hand. The sugar mixture is ready to mold when it starts to hold together like wet sand.
Press the sugar mixture firmly into ice cube trays or sugar molds.
Allow the sugar cubes to air dry for approximately 5 hours or place the sugar cubes in full sunlight to speed up the drying time.
Place a paper plate on top of the sugar mold and then turn the mold upside down; gently shake the mold to release the sugar cubes onto the paper plate.
