Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and water. Stir well until the mixture has the texture of damp sand, ensuring the sugar is evenly moistened but not dissolving.
  2. Pack molds: Firmly press the damp sugar mixture into a clean silicone or plastic mold, packing tightly for best results so the cubes hold their shape.
  3. Dry cubes: Let the molded sugar rest undisturbed at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight until it solidifies. Once hardened, carefully remove the sugar cubes from the mold and store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use silicone or plastic molds for easy removal of sugar cubes.
  • Allow sufficient drying time to ensure cubes hold together firmly.
  • Store sugar cubes in an airtight container to prevent moisture and clumping.
  • If sugar cubes crumble, try adding a tiny bit more water next time for better binding.
