Best Answer

Pour the mixture into enough water that all the sugar will dissolve. Sand does not dissolve in water, so the sand will settle to the bottom of the solution and then you can sift the sand out of the solution. Then you will just have sand and sugar water, which can evaporate, leaving the sugar behind in the container.
