Here is how I did it.
1 cup honey (I used local)
2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Candy Thermometer
Lollipop Sticks
Non-stick surface
Heat your honey and lemon juice to hard crack stage, stirring constantly. Spoon small amounts onto a non-stick surface, I used my silpat, and add sticks (in my case, I was out of lollipop sticks so I used craft sticks). Let cool.
There are some recipes that call for peppermint oil also. I might try those next!
It is that simple. Homemade, all natural, sore throat soother! Boy how I love to give my family all natural, homemade goodness!
Seems so simple! Thanks for sharing!
