I use that recipe and get a small amount of what you are are describing but not that much. I assume you brought the water to boil right before you put in the sugar, if you didn't the water may not have been hot enough to help dissolve all of the sugar. Also it sounds like you make have not whisked long/hard enough. Try that next time or consider an electric hand blender. The one you made is still good. I would transfer it to a new bottle and throw out the hardened portion.
