Humans are not capable of synthesising our own sugar. We obtain it from plants

Our bodies can however convert more complex forms like starch or other carbohydrates from plants to sugar in our bodies.

To make sugar ( or syrup) from sugar beets.

Grow sugar beets from seed planted in March for a September crop

Pull up the beets.

Scrub and peel them.

Grate and cover with water

Boil for 1 hour

Strain the water from the beets pressing to get out as much juice as possible.

Ten strain again through a jelly bag to remove all the impurities.

Concentrate that syrup down by gently heating - don't heat to hot - or you get caramel

Reduce to a thin syrup (like maple syrup)

Whisk to get it very frothy.

Leave overnight

Skim off the thick layer of foam onto sheets of dehydrator

Dry to form rock sugar

This can be pounded into a powder.

A factory uses a centrifuge to get the sugar crystals (as is sold in shops) to drop out of the sugar syrup.
