How can you make sugar cubes?

Making sugar cubes at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy a sweet treat. Here's a simple recipe to make your sugar cubes:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

1. Combine Sugar and Water:

- Mix the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir the mixture continuously to dissolve the sugar completely.

2. Boil the Mixture:

- Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.

3. Reduce Heat and Simmer:

- Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. The sugar syrup should be thick and glossy.

4. Pour into Mold:

- Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper.

- Pour the hot sugar syrup into the prepared mold, making sure to fill each cube compartment evenly.

5. Let it Set:

- Allow the sugar syrup to cool completely. This might take several hours or overnight until the sugar cubes are fully set and hardened.

6. Remove Sugar Cubes:

- Once the sugar cubes are set, remove them gently from the mold. You may need to use a knife to loosen the cubes from the mold's edges.

7. Store:

- Store the sugar cubes in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for several weeks.

Your homemade sugar cubes are ready to enjoy! Feel free to experiment with different flavors by adding a touch of vanilla, cinnamon, or mint extract to the sugar-water mixture. Be mindful of the amount of water you add as too much will make the syrup runny and prevent the cubes from setting correctly.
