Rock Candy

I've been buying rock candy to stir my coffee and hot tea for a while and i love it!! I think it's really really neat!! Only that it's kinda hard to find and not cheap (which i think that's why most places don't carry them) So i figure, why can't i make it?? It should be easier than trying to find it...and then i'd have to buy in bulk to stock them up. Google came to rescue me and help me with this project. I found the recipe....it doesn't sound too bad either, it's just take couple days.

So my project begins........im growing my own rock sugar!!! First thing first, I made a very thick sugar syrup...i added couple tablespoon of vanilla extract because i want my rock sugar to be very flavorful. I poured the syrup in a glass and put a skewer in the middle...i use a cloths pin to hold the skewer in place. In 3 days, it should be ready....im so excited!! And if it turns out perfect, i'll be creative to put different flavors and colors in my next batch.

Stay tight.....and keep your finger crossed for me :D
