Ingredients

3 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. cornstarch
2 c. cold water
food coloring
dish detergent
medium saucepan

Preparation

Mix the sugar and cornstarch together in the saucepan.
Add the water and mix a little more.
Cook over medium heat, stirring all the time. The mixture should start to boil, then thicken. Takes about 5 minutes.
Remove from the stove, cool and pour into plastic or paper cups.
Be careful with food coloring since it can stain, but add a little of it to
each cup and then a drop of detergent.
