Miniature Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite Lollipop Idea

Ingredients:

1. Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite (small amounts for flavoring)
2. Lollipop molds
3. Lollipop sticks
4. Sugar (1 cup)
5. Light corn syrup (1/2 cup)
6. Water (1/4 cup)
7. Flavor extracts (Coca-Cola, orange, and lemon for respective flavors)
8. Food coloring (optional for color)

Preparation Steps:

1. Prepare Flavored Syrups:
   • In separate containers, create flavored syrups for Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite. Mix small amounts of each soda with a base syrup (sugar, corn syrup, and water). Adjust the ratios to achieve the desired flavor intensity.
2. Add Flavor Extracts:
   • Enhance the flavor by adding extracts corresponding to each soda flavor. For example, use cola extract for Coca-Cola, orange extract for Fanta, and lemon extract for Sprite.
3. Optional: Add Color:
   • If desired, add food coloring to match the typical colors of each soda (brown for Coca-Cola, orange for Fanta, and clear for Sprite).
4. Prepare Lollipop Mixture:
   • In a saucepan, combine the flavored syrup with additional sugar and corn syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
5. Boil to Desired Stage:
   • Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling until it reaches the hard crack stage (around 300°F or 149°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
6. Pour into Molds:
   • Once the syrup reaches the desired stage, carefully pour it into the lollipop molds. Work quickly, as the syrup will begin to harden.
7. Insert Lollipop Sticks:
   • Immediately place lollipop sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered. Swirl the sticks gently to coat them in the syrup.
8. Cool and Set:
   • Allow the lollipops to cool and set completely. You can expedite this process by placing them in the refrigerator.
9. Remove from Molds:
   • Once the lollipops are fully set, carefully remove them from the molds.
