I don’t understand I followed the recipe and it just turned out to be a stick soaked in sugar water

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 ай бұрын

Most likely the liquid was too hot and it melted the seed crystals on the stick. Let the sugar liquid cool down a little more before putting the sugar stick in it. And since it is a food science it doesn't always turn out every time, think of it as more of an experiment and not an exact recipe that works every time.

@Sakura_The_Dragon 8 ай бұрын

Btw have at least 1 cup of water since the first time you pour water and sugar you should have the same amount, then later add more sugar once the previous one dissolves. It will make it more dense then later on your third cup the sugar shouldn’t fully dissolve. Edit: You don’t have to wait 30 mins for it to cool, as you prepare the next step it will cool! Your welcome :)

After your rock candy is ready is the sugar water reusable?

You can use the sugar water for drinks or make more rock candy, but in order to make more rock candy you have to reheat it and add an additional cup of sugar to make up for the sugar that grew on the stick.

You can BUT you need to reheat it and add another cup of sugar to make up for the sugar that grew, since the solution is no longer as concentrated. You can only do two in the same container if the container is really wide, otherwise they will grow stuck together. If that makes sense?

Nope haha. Portion control. It's not like you eat this everyday! Eating candy like this once in awhile isn't going to give you diabetes. Besides that sugar doesn't cause diabetes although it can certainly play a factor in getting it. But there is much more to it than that. Overall diet, weight, activity level etc.

lol. Although that is a myth, sugar doesn't cause diabetes. There is way more that goes into getting diabetes. I eat lots of sugar and do not have diabetes. It certainly can contribute to it, but isn't the cause. Eating something like this once in awhile will not give you diabetes. Just saying :)

OR you use pest control and never have to worry about ants. :) OR your house is cleaned regularly so there is not reason for aunts to come in to begin with. PRO TIP: If you don't have pest control keep the floors clean all the time, and you won't have an aunt problem. Either way these have to be left out overnight for 5 to 7 days for the rock candy to actually grow.
