Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
This quantity of products is designed for one approach, taking into account the existing form for lollipops like mine. On average, you need 4 times less water than sugar. You don’t have to add acid, but it adds a slightly noticeable sourness. So, pour granulated sugar with water. Add citric acid.

Step 2

Step 2
Place on low heat and cook, stirring, until a caramel color is obtained.

Step 3

Step 3
Lightly grease the mold with vegetable oil and pour the syrup into it. After a couple of seconds, insert the sticks into the future lollipops and leave to cool, which will take about half an hour.

Step 4

Step 4
Open the mold and take out the “cockerels”.

Step 5

Step 5
As you can see, making lollipops at home is not difficult. And if you don’t have a mold, it doesn’t matter, you can make lollipops on a plate — just pour the syrup onto a plate greased with vegetable oil, and then use a knife (after cooling) to chop it into pieces. By the way, slightly overcooked homemade lollipops are great for getting rid of coughs.
