Instructions:

Prepare your workspace: Lightly grease a baking sheet or tray and set aside. This will be where you pour your Alewa mixture to cool and harden.

11

Melt the sugar: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup over low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture starts to bubble.

12

Color it up: Once the sugar has fully dissolved, add a few drops of your chosen food coloring to the mixture. Stir well to ensure the color is evenly distributed.

13

Add flavors: Add the grated ginger and your chosen flavor to the saucepan. Mix these ingredients into the sugar mixture thoroughly.

14

The lime twist: Squeeze in the lime juice. The acidity will not only add a subtle tang but also help prevent the sugar from recrystallizing.

15

Cooling time: Pour the mixture onto the greased baking sheet. Spread it out into a thin layer, and let it cool.

16

Pulling time: While it's still warm, bring the mixture together and pull it apart till the color becomes light. You can now cut it into shapes.

17

Let it set: Allow the Alewa to cool and set completely. Once set, you can break it into pieces if you spread it out on a sheet.

18

Enjoy!: Your homemade, colorful Alewa is ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
