Step 1
It is important to calibrate your candy thermometer and prepare your workstation ahead of time, before starting the cooking process. I recommend you put the lollipop molds on a baking tray and add the sticks to the molds. This is very important because the recipe can be tricky to work with as the sugar heats up and hardens very quickly.
Step 2
Add the sugar, corn syrup, water, and tincture to a heavy-duty 1-quart saucepan. Place over medium heat and then stir until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Attach the candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring the bottom of the thermometer does not touch the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Do not stir. If sugar crystals form on the sides of the pan, wash them down with a wet silicone brush.
Step 5
Continue to allow the mixture to cook until the temperature reaches 260°F.
Step 6
Without stirring, drop in your desired amount of food coloring (2-5 drops). Continue to allow the mixture to cook, watching the temperature carefully.
Step 7
When the temperature reaches exactly 300°F, remove the pan from the heat. When the boiling has ceased, add in your flavoring. Be careful when pouring this into the hot sugar, rising steam may cause burns.
Step 8
Carefully pour the mixture into molds and put the lollipop sticks in place. If there is extra, pour it onto parchment paper for candy. Let cool completely.
Step 9
Once cool, wrap the lollipops in bags and secure them with twist ties.
Step 10
Enjoy! Store in a cool, dry place if not enjoyed immediately.
