Answer: heat a saturated sugar water solution, dissolve more sugar, then let the solution cool.
Explanation: Heating lets you dissolve more sugar than at room temperature (creating a supersaturated solution when it cools). As the solution cools, excess sugar comes out of solution and forms the rock candy crystals (often aided by a seed crystal or string).
