Homemade lollipops on a stick
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You don't need to buy special molds to make beautiful sugar candies—you can use ice cube trays, spoons, or silicone candy molds. These candies can be made in various colors by simply adding a few drops of food coloring during preparation. Also, I recommend experimenting with different flavors, for example, adding a bit of mint extract to the candies. Serve chilled.
