Kids keep asking you for strawberry lollipops?
We agree:lollipops are even better when they are homemade.
At least you are sure that they are without dyes , chemicals or additives.
Fortunately, there is a very easy recipe for making homemade lollipops. Watch:
- 150g blond sugar
- 60 g strawberry fruit syrup
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 40ml of water
- 1 lemon
- 1 mold for 8 to 10 lollipops with sticks
1. Pour the water into the pan.
2. Add 150 g of golden cane sugar.
3. Pour 60 g of syrup of your choice.
4. Put a teaspoon of honey.
5. Heat over medium heat. The ideal temperature is 145°C.
6. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
7. Cook for 5 minutes then stop.
Tip: to know if your syrup is ready, drop a drop of the syrup into a saucer. If it freezes, the syrup is ready.
8. Pour your syrup into the lollipop moulds.
9. Add lollipop sticks
10. Leave to cool for 30 min.
11. Gently unmold the lollipops.
There you go, your homemade strawberry lollipops are already ready :-)
The kids will love it and I'm sure you will too. Real child's play!
Of course, you can choose a syrup flavor other than strawberry:caramel, mint, grenadine...
You can also replace the syrup with 50 ml of citrus juice and add 3 drops of citrus essential oil at the end of cooking:lemon essential oil, grapefruit essential oil...
If you prefer roudoudous to lollipops, just choose shell-shaped molds to make homemade roudoudous. The recipe remains the same!
