These simple and sweet honey lollipops will not only taste good but will soothe a sore throat as well. For kids, it would be a good alternative to cough drop and adults can also use it as a sweetener/stirrer in a cup of hot tea. Monsoon has just begun; make them in advance and beat the sore throat. Let’s see how it can be prepared in no time.

 

 

Of course, most of those benefits will come from raw honey and this is cooked honey but still, as far as treats go this is a great option. These little lollipops are great for children that might be feeling ill or wrap these up and gift them to adults too. These lollipops are wonderful stirred into hot water or hot tea.

 

To make these little lollipops is really simple. Just heat the honey with a splash of water and sugar (or skip the sugar), pop into a lollipop mold, let cool and that is it!

 

You can add in some citrus zest if you like or maybe cinnamon- just depending on the flavor of honey you purchase. I found the cinnamon a little too strong with the honey I used but orange zest was absolutely perfect.
