Ingredients

2 cups of Sugar

1 Lemon

1 Egg

Food coloring

Cloves

Preparation

Step 1 : On a clean surface, pour 2 cups of sugar (preferably powdered sugar), and gradually incorporate the egg white carefully, remember that we will only use the egg white. Keep stirring until it reaches a good consistency. If it gets too runny, add more sugar.

Step 2 : When the mixture no longer sticks to your hand, you'll know it's ready. Next, divide it into small balls and color each one with food coloring. Continue kneading well and add more sugar if necessary.

Step 3 : If you want to add another flavor to your fruit candies or alfeniques, do so after kneading well and adding the coloring.

Step 4 : Distribute the colored pieces in a clean container until they dry. This way, we prevent the colors from mixing.
