Honey Lemon and Ginger Throat Drops

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ Cup Raw honey
• 1 Lemon
• Fresh Ginger
• Icing mixture,

  for storing

Instructions

• 1 To make these drops, you will first need to juice the lemon. Squeeze out all of
  the juice and strain it to make sure all the seeds have been removed. 
• 2 Add the lemon juice to a small saucepan.
• 3 Cut 5 to 6 thin slices of ginger and add it to the saucepan.
• 4 Store in the honey and bring ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring
  frequently.
• 5 Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture reaches 300˚F / 149˚C. Be
  careful not to burn the honey. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can go
  by the look of the honey. It will change to a deep, golden brown colour when
  done.
• 6 Once it is ready, remove the pot from the heat and allow to cool for a few
  minutes. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
• 7 Spoon dots of the thickened mixture onto a lined tray.
• 8 Allow the drops to cool and harden completely.
• 9 Peel off the drops and store in an airtight container. To stop them from
  sticking to one another, you can toss them in a little icing mixture, shaking
  off the excess.
• 10 Store in the airtight container in a dark place for around 3-4 weeks. They can
  also be stored in the freezer. Just take one out then you feel a store throat
  coming on and pop it in your mouth.
