Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 drops Food coloring (optional)
- 1 drop Flavor extract (optional, such as vanilla, almond, or rose)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and water. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. The sugar should hold its shape when pressed.
If using, add food coloring and flavor extract to the sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the color and flavor.
Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or shaped ice cube trays. Press firmly to pack the sugar tightly into the molds.
Carefully smooth the tops of the molds with a flat utensil or your fingers for a clean, polished look.
Let the sugar cubes dry and harden completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best results.
Once dry, gently pop the sugar cubes out of the molds. Handle carefully to avoid breaking their delicate shapes.
Store the sugar cubes in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to use. They will stay fresh for several weeks.
