It's super easy and fun to create your own sugar cubes! You could easily customized your sugar cubes with a drop of a flavored extract or food dye. And you could use molds to create fun shapes with your sugar cubes.
In a bowl combine 2/3 cup granulated sugar to 1 teaspoon water. The mixture should be very crumbly and not overly moist. Press the sugar into your mold (we used ice cube trays). And place in the freezer over night. Flip the tray upside down onto a cutting board and give it a gentle tap. I cut my cubes in half as I felt they were too large to use for tea (but that's just me). As you can see they are somewhat crumbly but they are super cute and dissolved well in my tea. Enjoy! xo. emma
These are too pretty to eat, but I'm sure I'll find a way :)

That is so cute!
I love the idea of making them different colours or flavours. Maybe pink with vanilla...I will have to try this :)

Making the different flavours, that's what sold me. Nice one guys.

We made sugar cubes for my sister's bridal shower but used candy molds in the shape of flowers. They were so adorable! :)

Suddenly I want little skull-shaped sugar cubes. I love it! But then, I always love your tutorials. :)

Loved these... just made pink for cherry marzipan tea and green with vanilla extract for my peppermint green tea!
Thank you - so simple and sweet!

After freezing over night, do they remain solid out of the freezer? Like to package them as a gift?

Seriously? This is meant to be a tutorial?? I don't see the point of it.

Gorgeous! you should try adding bitters to the cube before freezing it and dropping it in a glass of bubbly. Amazing flavour and beautiful colours! A wonderful surprise for a sweet celebration! Just a thought..

Genius! I like the idea of adding flavor to sugar cubes, I really want to try this.

this reminds me of how much I used to use sugar cubes! we used to use them a lot at home, both white and yellow sugar... they're super common in France, too bad I didn't get to use them that much anymore here in Portugal...
thanks for sharing!

Can you make this with raw cane sugar too? Can't find any granulated in my home...

Oh my! Just yesterday I was needing sugar cubes and wondering if there were instructions somewhere for homemade cubes! Perfect timing! Although I want mine for a slightly different purpose than tea - my horse :)
Thanks so much!
