Poonam Singh's Answer
Sugar cubes are made by mixing granulated sugar with a binding agent, and then forming the sugar into the desired shape.
Binding agents can be water or egg white.
A typical recipe for sugar cubes is to sift two cups of granulated sugar into a bowl, and form a well in the center. Add four teaspoons of water, and knead the mixture by hand for about two minutes until it is uniformly mixed and has the consistency of wet sand. The damp sugar can be shaped into cubes by hand shaping, pressing it into molds, or by forming the sugar into a flat cake that is sawed into cubes once it has dried. Place the shaped sugar on a cookie sheet in a two hundred degree fahrenheit oven for ten minutes, or cover with a towel, and place in a dry place for approximately five hours.
