Lemon Honey Spoons
1/2 cup of honey
2 cups of sugar
1 tbs of white vinegar
1/4 cup of water
Lemon essence
Heavy Plastic Spoons
This project shows you how to make lemon flavored honey spoons ideal for stirring into hot tea or coffee.
Place all the ingredients (except the essence) into a heavy bottom saucepan. Bring to the boil constantly stirring and brushing down the sugar from the sides. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook until it reaches hard crack stage. To test for hard crack stage you will need to carefuly drip it into a glass of cold water when it reaches crack stage it instantly goes hard in the water.
You can learn more about
basic toffee making here.
Once it has reached the correct stage, remove it from the heat and allow to cool slightly, add the essence and then dip your spoons into the toffee and place them down onto a greased cookie tray to set.
Finish this project off by wrapping them in cellophane and attaching a handmade tag or label.
I would NOT use plastic spoons just because if the plastic spoon heats up too much it can release cancer causing chemicals and you could die from it.
Heat resistant spoons are better.
I haven't made them yet, but need to know how many this recipe will make to make sure I have enough spoons.
this is cool but i did mine another way i put honey and lemon juice on the spoon and forze it for a little while but it was still yummy :)
this is a really great idea! im going to use steel spoon and paint the end of the spoon to make an unusual cool gift!
thanks
