The best description of the steps Maceo should take to make rock candy is:

**heat a saturated sugar water solution, dissolve more sugar, then let the solution cool.**

This method involves creating a supersaturated solution by dissolving more sugar in hot water, and then allowing the solution to cool, which facilitates the crystallization of sugar into rock candy.
