Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl. For safety, make sure the bowl you are using is microwaveable.
- Be sure to wring out the paper towel well. You want to add some moisture back into the sugar, but you don’t want it dripping with water. Dripping water can start to melt the sugar and cause it to clump even more or turn pasty.
