In a small bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin, stirring until it fully dissolves. 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 230F, which is the softball stage. 3. Once the sugar syrup is ready, pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into it, mixing thoroughly to combine. Remove from heat and divide the mixture into separate cups. Add food coloring to achieve a glossy finish if desired. 4. Pour the mixture into various-shaped molds and allow it to set.
