Turn your kitchen into a candy lab. These lollipops are super fun to make, and actually really easy.

ingredients
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon peppermint or cinnamon oil (or to taste)
red or green food coloring
24 lollipop or popsicle sticks
directions
In a saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt and bring to a boil.
Cool mixture until candy thermometer registers 300-310 degrees F or a drop of the mixture placed in cold water produces a brittle strand of candy.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 to 1 ts peppermint or cinnamon oil. Stir in several drops of red or green food coloring and stir to combine.
On a lightly oiled marble slab pour the syrup into small round shapes and position a paper lollipop stick in each round. As an alternative, pour syrup into lightly oiled small cupcake tins and position a popsicle stick in each cup.
Allow lollipops to harden and then carefully remove from either marble surface or cupcake tins. Individually wrap each lollipop in plastic wrap to prevent them from sticking together.
cook's notes
Another easy way to flavor/color these lollipops is with flavored gelatin powder. Just stir in 2-3 teaspoons in place of the food coloring and flavoring oil. Can use any flavor gelatin powder.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Made cherry flavored, used oil and 2tsp. of kool-aid. They came out very good. Much better than store bought.😊

works great, just remember that the humidity level of your kitchen will affect the outcome, so if you have problems, minimize the humidity in your workspace. Also I double the amount of flavoring that is called for, and when I reach 295-300 I add the color and flavoring, so the added moisture has a chance to fully cook out.
