Prepare your lollipop mold by adding sticks into your mold before you start

Add lavender infused honey or honey + organic lavender buds, vanilla extract, and cream of tar tar into a medium to - large sauce pan and mix until well combined. You need a larger sauce pan because this recipe bubbles up and you do not want it to pour over the sides.
Heat your honey over low-medium heat with a candy thermometer immersed.

Heat until honey reaches 300 ° F or 148 ° C. Do this very slowly, it will take some time. If you heat your honey too quickly it will taste scorched. If it seems your honey isn't increasing in temperature, increase your heat very slowly and surely. It usually takes me about 10 minutes, and I usually have to slightly increase my temperature around five minutes and then am able to reduce it before my honey reaches 300 ° F.

Once your honey has reached 300 ° F turn off your heat and give your honey a good stir until the bubbles have settled. If you used lavender buds you can leave them in or strain them out, but work quickly to get your honey into your molds. After your honey reaches the "hard crack" stage, it hardens quickly.

Pour the honey into your prepared lollipop molds and let them sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Either way, they should harden nicely if your honey reached the threshold temperature necessary for hard candy.

Let them sit for at least two hours. Once your lollipops are hardened, carefully remove them from their molds and enjoy!
