HOW TO MAKE SUGAR

Instructions 1 Buy sugar cane from a retailer, such as Fresh Sugar Cane in California. Most vendors perform a preliminary wash before putting the cane out to sell, but you want it to be free from clinging dirt before you cook it. 2 Wash the sugar cane for several minutes with running water. Press the sugar cane repeatedly with large rollers. 3 Boil and cook the resulting liquid and allow the water to evaporate. Get rid of the dirty foam that accumulates on the top of the syrup. 4 Discard the fibrous product left over and pour the resulting syrup into a large pan to cook further. Continue boiling until crystals occur. The result is raw sugar that is brown in color. 5 Dry the sugar in a dryer that uses hot air. After it is dry, blow cool air over it for several days.
