Ingredients
- 7 ounces 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon water more if needed
- ⅛ teaspoon flavoring of choice such an extract
- ½ teaspoon any dry ingredients you choose like lemon zest, edible flowers, spices
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
Sugar cubes can be kept indefinitely in an airtight container at room temperature.
The sugar cubes should be allowed to completely set before being removed from their mold. The time will depend on the humidity and the size of the mold used. To be on the safe side, and for best results - let them set overnight.
