A sugar and water solution can be separated by gently heating the solution until all of the water has evaporated. What remains in the evaporating dish (or pan) will be sugar, although it will tend to form a large crust rather than the granules that were originally put into the water. The water can also be collected, if required, by placing a cool surface (eg, a plate or metal sheet) above the evaporating dish and allowing the droplets of water to condense. The droplets will then run down the plate and can be collected in a suitable receptacle.
