Another one of our projects this week was making Rock Candy. We started on Tuesday. I used about 8 cups of water and 17 cups of sugar. Way to much for what we where doing - I ended up saving the left over sugar water and adding it to koolaid. By Wednesday night nothing had happened so I ended up cooking it again and adding even more sugar. Which was a pain since I had to do each cup individually since we had added color and flavoring.
Looking at it today it looks like it might work! Hopefully next week there will be a post of us enjoying the fruits of our labor!
*update - Our Rock candy ended up not really turning out (no picture). We ended up letting the kids eat the little sugar that stuck to the sticks. It was a bummer it did not 'grow' the way it was suppose to. Life goes on!!
