Sort out the mabu or bab seeds, removing any debris.

Add 1 cup of water to a pot over medium flame and add 2 and 1/2 cups of sugar.

Wait for the sugar to melt, about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once bubbling, add red food color and cardamom powder to the sugar mixture.

Cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until the sugar reaches a stringy texture.

Transfer the sorted mabu to a large container.

Pour the melted sugar mixture over the mabu and stir to coat evenly.

Add half of the muy powder to the mixture and stir.

Place the pan back over medium flame, adding 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of water.

Melt the sugar for about a minute, then transfer the mixture back to the mabu, stirring to coat again.

Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
