How to prepare Lollipop
To prepare the lollipops, put the granulated sugar in a saucepan. Add the orange flavoring 1, the powdered food coloring 2, and the cream of tartar 3.
Pour in the water 4 and turn on the heat. Stir slightly over moderate heat with a spoon 5 and bring to a temperature between 293°F and 302°F, measuring with a kitchen thermometer 6.
At this point, dip the saucepan with the syrup you've obtained into a bowl full of cold water for a second to stop the cooking 7. Using a spoon, pour a small portion of caramel onto a silicone mat (alternatively, you can use a sheet of parchment paper) 8, trying to create a round shape 9.
Place a lollipop stick in the center of each circle (alternatively, you can use wooden coffee stirrers or ice cream sticks) 10: with our quantities, you should make 14 lollipops; once finished 11, let them cool at room temperature for at least 40 minutes. After the necessary time has passed, you can serve your fun and colorful lollipops on a nice bonbon holder 12!
