    Homemade Lollipops

    INGREDIENTS

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or vegetable oil. For molds, no greasing required.

    2. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.

    3. Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and insert a candy thermometer into the saucepan. Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it reaches the hard-crack stage, which is around 300°F (150°C). This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

    4. Once the candy mixture reaches the hard-crack stage, remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly stir in the flavored extract and food coloring (if using), mixing until well combined.

    5. Using a spoon, carefully pour the hot candy mixture onto the mold or prepared baking sheet, forming circles approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. Leave enough space between each circle to insert the lollipop sticks.

    6. Immediately place a lollipop stick into each circle of candy, gently twisting it to ensure it's fully coated in the candy mixture.

    7. Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely at room temperature. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

    8. Once the lollipops are fully hardened, carefully remove them from the lollipop mold or peel them off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container or wrap them individually in cellophane bags.

    9. Enjoy your homemade lollipops as a sweet treat or give them as gifts!

    Note: Be extremely careful when working with hot sugar syrup, as it can cause severe burns. Keep children and pets away from the cooking area and use caution throughout the process.

    Elevate Your Sparkling Water: Flavourings and Extracts DIY Guide

    Elevate Your Sparkling Water: Flavourings and Extracts DIY Guide

    Sparkling water is a refreshing beverage on its own, but adding flavourings and extracts can take it to a whole new level of enjoyment. Whether you prefer fruity, herbal, or exotic flavors, making your own flavored sparkling water at home allows for creativity and customization. With a few simple ingredients and some inspiration, you can create delicious and unique sparkling water concoctions to delight your taste buds. Here's your DIY guide to flavorings and extracts for sparkling water.

    Fruit Flavorings:

    1.   Citrus Zest: Citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges offer zesty flavors that brighten up sparkling water. Simply peel the outer skin of the fruit, avoiding the bitter white pith, and drop a few twists into your sparkling water.
    2. Berries: Fresh or frozen berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries add a burst of sweetness and color to your drink. Mash them slightly to release their juices before adding them to your sparkling water.
    3. Pineapple: Pineapple chunks or pineapple juice infuse your sparkling water with tropical sweetness. Add a few pieces of fresh pineapple or a splash of juice to instantly transport yourself to a sunny paradise.
    4. Watermelon: Refreshing and hydrating, watermelon chunks or watermelon juice lend a subtle sweetness to sparkling water. Blend fresh watermelon and strain the juice for a pure flavor infusion.

    Herbal and Botanical Extracts:

    1. Mint: Fresh mint leaves bring a cooling and invigorating flavor to sparkling water. Bruise the leaves gently to release their oils before adding them to your drink.
    2. Basil: Fragrant basil leaves impart a subtle herbal note to sparkling water, creating a sophisticated and aromatic beverage. Tear the leaves or muddle them slightly to intensify the flavor.
    3. Lavender: Lavender adds a floral and calming essence to sparkling water, perfect for a relaxing afternoon treat. Use dried culinary lavender buds or a drop of food-grade lavender extract for a delicate flavor infusion.
    4. Rosemary: Earthy and aromatic, rosemary sprigs infuse sparkling water with a hint of pine-like freshness. Crush the rosemary slightly to release its oils before adding it to your drink.

    How to Infuse Sparkling Water:

    1. Start with chilled sparkling water for the best flavor absorption.
    2. Add your desired flavorings or extracts to a glass or pitcher.
    3. Gently muddle fresh ingredients to release their flavors.
    4. Pour the sparkling water over the flavorings.
    5. Let the water sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
    6. Stir gently and taste-test. Adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences.
    7. Add ice cubes if desired and enjoy your custom-crafted sparkling water creation!
    Experiment with different combinations of fruit, herbs, and botanicals to discover your favorite flavor profiles. With a bit of creativity and experimentation, you can elevate your sparkling water experience and quench your thirst in style. Cheers to delicious hydration!
