Print Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup manuka honey infused with:
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon of dried
- 2 cinnamon sticks or ¼ tablespoon of dried
- 3 whole cloves or ½ tablespoon of dried
- ½ tablespoon fresh grated ginger or ¼ tablespoon of dried
- zest of one medium sized lemon
Instructions
- Infuse your herbs and spices into your manuka honey for 5 days - one week before making these spoons. To infuse, simply place your ingredients in your honey and let it sit with an air tight seal.
- When you're ready to make your pops, slightly heat the honey and strain the herbs and spices out of the honey. While you do this, prepare to make your spoons.
- Prepare popsicle sticks or lolly pop sticks over parchment paper or on a spoon mold (I use spoon mold)
Put your thieves honey in a double boiler place over boiling water in a small saucepan
Stir constantly until temperature reaches 300 degrees F (use a candy thermometer)
Remove from heat
Quickly pour into the top of your spoon mold, or gently drop in a circle shape over the top of your lollipop or popsicle stick, to encompass the top of the stick.
Let solidify at room temperature, or move to the fridge for at least one hour. I find it works best for me just to let them sit at room temperature.
Gently remove from parchment paper, or easily "pop" out from your mold.
Lollies will dissolve easily in hot water.
Notes
These lollies can be fragile so be careful when removing them from your mold.
Store in your fridge in an airtight container for up to one year.
due to the risk of infant botulism, a severe but rare form of food poisoning, you should never give honey to a child younger than a year old.
