This is how to make SUGAR CRYSTALS using "The Evaporation Method"

Disolve  100 grams of water
230 grams of sugar.
heat up the solution until it becomes clear.
Filter it (optional)
Place the solution in a glass, no lid
After it cools, place a piece of string in the lid.
After a few days, sugar crystals should begin to form.

Cheers,
