Rock Candy

To make the sugar solution, boil water and add granulated sugar(no given amount), stirring constantly. Continue to add sugar until no more will dissolve.

Pour the solution into a glass. Tie a clean nail to one end of a piece of string and support it over the glass with a pencil.

Let the glass stand without moving and in a few days the crystals of rock candy will begin to form. Evidently it is fun watching the crystals grow.

NOTE: When I use this recipe I use a very small amount of water-perhaps 1/4 cup-for a lot of sugar can dissolve in a small amount of water.
