Rock Candy

The primary, and only necessary, ingredient in Rock Candy is sugar.

Rock candy is made with sugar is dissolved into warmed water, forming a syrup. Usually something like a popsicle stick is partially submerged in the solution, and over a period of time (a week?) sugar crystals will start to form and collect on the stick, forming rock candy.

People add optional coloring and flavoring to improve the final product.

That's pretty much it, there are many "How to make rock candy" videos and pages on the net.

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material, whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is crystallography. The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification. The word crystal is derived from the ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος (krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by freezing, such as ice.[1] The word once referred particularly to quartz, or "rock crystal".

And Rock candy (also called rock sugar) is a type of confectionery mineral composed of relatively large sugar crystals. The candy is formed by allowing a supersaturated solution of sugar and water to crystallize onto a surface suitable for crystal nucleation, such as a string or stick. Heating the water before adding the sugar allows more sugar to dissolve and thus produces larger crystals. Crystals form 6-7 days. Food coloring may be added to the mixture to produce colored candy.

So.. basically one is a solid ROCK! and the other is basically FOOD!! :) (enjoy)

on average, around the 200 mark. but it can vary from 100 to 300.

None, I'm afraid. Rock candy has no medicinal properties.

I think you should be the first to try it! :D then let the rest of us know how it worked out for ya...

you wash it then drie it

ish loads!!

Saturation of sugar solution.

1. Boil 4 cups of water in a pot.

2. Tie a string around a pencil and put the string into the jar, with the pencil resting across the top.

3. Pour the water evenly into the two jars.

4. Pour one cup of sugar into one jar, and two cups into the other jar.

5. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.

6. Put the jars back where they can grow.

Rock candy is a type of sugar candy that forms when a supersaturated sugar solution cools and crystallizes. To make it, dissolve sugar in boiling water until no more sugar can be dissolved, then pour the solution into a jar with a stick or string suspended in it. Over several days to weeks, sugar crystals will grow on the stick or string as the solution evaporates. The result is large, beautiful crystals of sugar that can be enjoyed as a sweet treat.

Rock candy is crystallized sugar that resembles rock crystals. Boil water, and stir in sugar by teaspoons until it starts to sit on the bottom and will not dissolve anymore, adding food coloring if you want colored crystals. Put the solution into a clear glass jar without getting any undissolved sugar in it. Tie a string to a pencil, and put the string in the jar so it is not touching the sides or bottom, and set jar where it is undisturbed. Pull the string out once the crystals reach the desired size or stop growing, and let them dry before eating.
