JOHAN SE TEESUIKER – KRISTALSUIKER
JOHAN SE TEESUIKER – KRISTALSUIKER
Goeie môre en so maak jy Teesuiker of kristalsuiker of tousuiker
Meng suiker en water totdat die oplossing versadig is (wanneer suiker nie meer wil oplos in die water nie)
Sit ń plastiek gewiggie of kraaltjie onder aan punt van tou dat dit reguit af in glas kan hang
Sit op ń veilige plek na ń paar dae sal kristalle aan die tou begin vorm hoe lange jy dit los hoe groter en meer kristalle vorm
Ek her myne gekleur deur ń tande stokkie te gebruik om die regte kleur te kry
Dit vat tyd gee maar genoeg kans
Wanneer kristalle klaar gevorm het haal uit oplossing en hang op om droog te word
Jy kan ook stokkies gebruik soos in die 2de foto.

how to make sugar crystals – what you will need
INGREDIENTS
2 Cups Water
6 Cups White Sugar
Food Colouring
Extra ¼ Cup White Sugar
You will also need a saucepan, wooden spoon, measuring cups, pegs (optional) and glasses (or jars) for growing the sugar crystals. We grew our sugar crystals on wooden sticks that we purchased from a party accessories store; you could alternatively use pipe cleaners, bamboo skewers or straws.
STEP 1

SETTING UP:
We made 4 different coloured sugar crystals and set up 4 glasses, one for each colour. In each jar I placed 5 drops of food colouring, red, yellow, green and blue.
The wooden sticks need to be set up on the glass so that the sticks do not touch the bottom or sides of the glass. This allows room for the sugar crystals to grow. We used pegs to clip onto the wooden sticks and balance them on the rim of the glass so the stick is straight up and down the middle of the glass.
STEP 2

HEAT:
Heat the water and sugar in a saucepan stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar.
Stir constantly for about 1 min as it boils, then turn off heat.
STEP 3

POUR:
Using a heat proof jug, pour sugar syrup equally into each glass and stir to combine food colouring with a metal fork. The sugar syrup is very hot, please be careful.
Allow the sugar syrup to cool for about half an hour in the glasses before placing the wooden sticks into the liquid.

WET:
Wet the wooden stick by dipping it into the sugar syrup and then roll the wet wooden stick into the dry white sugar. The dry sugar will help the sugar crystals attach and grow onto the wooden stick.
Place the sugar coated wooden stick into the sugar syrup in the glass, making sure that it is not touching the bottom or sides of the glass.
Set aside and watch the sugar crystals grow for 2 to 3 days.

DRY:
On day 3, take the sugar crystals on a stick out of the sugar syrup, allowing the liquid to run and drip off before placing them onto a paper towel to dry.
