Soothing Honey Cinnamon Cough Drops Recipes

SOOTHING HONEY-CINNAMON COUGH DROPS

Steps:

• In the pot of your Instant Pot, or in a sauce pan for use on the stovetop (choose a medium-large sauce pan, it will bubble up), combine honey, cinnamon, and optional cayenne with a whisk.
• Remove whisk, clip on candy thermometer so that the bulb is in the honey mixture but not touching the bottom of the pot, and turn the Instant Pot on to Saute- Medium. Alternatively, heat pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
• Heat to hard crack stage (300* F). Do not stir at all during this time.
• As the honey mixture heats, place optional sugar and cinnamon for coating in a pie dish. Use your finger to make many small indentions all over the sugar.
• Once at the correct temperature, remove honey mixture from heat and working quickly, carefully spoon drops (about 1/4 teaspoon or desired amount) into the indentions in the sugar. This will take 2-3 'batches' in the cinnamon sugar.
• Allow to set for 5 minutes, then gently shake pie pan to cover the top of the cough drops with sugar. After cough drops are firm, remove to another plate and repeat dropping the warm honey-mixture into the cinnamon sugar.
• Continue to allow to set for 20 minutes.
• After candy is set, store in an air-tight container for a week. Store in the freezer for longer storage.
