Rock Candy

'Miss Shafika received a cup of rock candy from her secret admirer. So she gave us a task about "What is Rock Candy" ? :) Here is about Rock Candy :)

Rock candy (also called rock sugar) is a type of confectionery mineral composed of relatively large sugar crystals. The candy is formed by allowing asupersaturated solution of sugar and water to crystallize onto a surface suitable for crystal nucleation, such as a string or stick. Heating the water before adding the sugar allows more sugar to dissolve and thus produces larger crystals. Crystals form after 6–7 days. Food coloring may be added to the mixture to produce colored candy
    Well the one that miss shafika received was so colorful and so nice :)
