Honey lollipops

           I like to drink tea every day and I love to add honey instead of sugar. I wanted to try my hand at making honey lollipops that i could put in my tea cup. Sometimes honey is a little messy especially when on the road. I can't tell  you how many times I have dumped my tea over trying to pull out the honey from a honey stick.  So, I read up today on how to make lollipops and cough drops. I also wanted to try to make my own mold. I had seen on  pinterest honey lollipops that were shaped like teaspoons.

• 1/2 - 1 Cups Organic Honey 
• Candy Thermometer 
• Lollipop Sticks
• Lollipop Molds 

If you are using clear plastic molds, grease them before pouring honey into them. Place lollipop sticks in the slots. For some reason when i put the sticks in the mold they would not stay level, so I placed thin books on each side of the mold to help the sticks stay level instead of tilted.

Heat the honey in  saucepan on low heat up to 300 degrees. Use a candy thermometer to keep an eye on the temp.  You do not want to burn the  honey. On my stove it took a long time to get up to 300. Remove from heat. I transferred the honey to a measuring cup so I could control the pouring aspect since my hands can get a little shaky. Pour slowly into molds.
I also used a silicon ice cube tray to make cough drops.

Traveling on a plane with honey is a little problematic. I made my own tea bag wallet. I then came up with the idea to put honey sticks in the wallet along with a pair of scissors and a tiny spoon.

this is the inside of the wallet. I have a great love for linen. I have made this wallet in regular fabric and they are just as beautiful in shabby chic colors.

this is the outside and is is opened from the side.
