How to Make Sugar Cubes from Scratch

Step 1

Place sugar in a medium to large sized bowl (depending on the quantity you are making)

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare water and/or extracts.

Step 3

Slowly add the liquid to the sugar, mixing well with a fork or whisk until sugar is damp, but not melting.

Step 4

Add food coloring to the sugar and water mixture, and continue mixing until the color is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Dump sugar mixture onto a silicone candy mold and press the mixture into the cavities so it is packed in tight.

Step 6

Allow sugar cubes to dry, uncovered, for 24 hours, or until the moisture has evaporated and the cubes are hardened.
