Ingredients:

The best part about this recipe is that it's simple. All you really need is water and sugar.

• Granulated sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, monk fruit - any sugar your heart desires will work here.
• Water - and like I mentioned, you can use an extract in place - like lemon extract, vanilla extract, or even rose water to change the flavor up. So fun!

How to make them:

With so few steps and ingredients, each step is crucial for success.

• Get a medium size mixing bowl and add your sugar and any mix ins your heart desire. We used chamomile, rose, lavender and jasmine for a beautiful floral sugar cube. Mix it up well.
• Slowly add in your water and mix until sugar is damp and evenly incorporated.
• Using a spoon, densely pack your sugar into your mold. Use the spoon or your hands to firmly pack them as tight as possible. It will not hold shape unless it's packed very well.
• Use a clean brush to brush off the excess sugar from the top of the mold.
• Let them sit for six hours - overnight to let the sugar harden.
