for ice water bath
Combine 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a pan. Do not stir the mixture.
Bring the sugar and water mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and continue to cook until it turns lightly brown and forms large, consistent bubbles, indicating it's ready.
While the sugar syrup is cooking, thread 3-4 strawberries onto one bamboo skewer and 4-5 green grapes onto another bamboo skewer.
Once the sugar syrup is ready, carefully dip the strawberry skewer into the hot syrup, ensuring all strawberries are coated evenly.
Immediately transfer the coated strawberry skewer into a bowl of ice water to harden the candy shell. This rapid cooling creates the signature crispy texture.
Repeat the dipping process with the grape skewer, coating the grapes in the hot sugar syrup.
Quickly transfer the coated grape skewer into the bowl of ice water to set the candy shell.
Serve the Tanghulu immediately and enjoy the crispy candied fruit.
