Q In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of the sugar with the water.
Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
W Add the food coloring, and then slowly stir in the remaining
2 cups sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
E Carefully pour the mixture into a clean, quart-size glass jar.
(You may want to use a funnel for this.)
R Cut eight pieces of string, each 6 inches long. Tie one end of
each string to the pencil.
T Lay the pencil across the top of the jar so that the free ends of
the strings hang into the sugar water. Lay a piece of wax paper
over the top of the jar.
Y After a couple of hours, you will see crystals starting to form
on the strings. The longer you leave the strings in the water,
the thicker the crystals will get. Pieces can be broken off and
eaten, then return the string to the sugar water to start building
crystals again. The crystals will continue to build for several
days or up to a week.
