How to make
Put the water and sugar in a non-stick pan on the hob for about 20 minutes at a moderate temperature, until a thick syrup is obtained.
During this time, dissolve the starch in a small bowl with a small amount of water.
Once the syrup is ready, pour it inside.
Stir the mixture without stopping over low heat with a large spoon - be careful, so that it doesn't stick.
After about 30 minutes the color will start to change, it will become more transparent - then pour the confectionery paint.
