Makes: 4
Ingredients
-
2
cups granulated sugar
-
1/2
cup corn syrup
-
1/2
cup water
-
1/2
teaspoon edible lavender oil
-
1/2
teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1
drop purple food coloring
-
1 1/2
teaspoons dried crushed rosemary
-
1
whisk with the (round wiring) top cut off
Directions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan on stove top over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Insert a candy thermometer, stirring sugar until it reaches 320 F.
- Remove from heat and pour into a microwaveable glass bowl, adding lavender , vanilla and food coloring.
- Lay parchment paper down on your work space.
- Dip your whisk into sugar mixture and hold it over bowl to let sugar mixture drip back into bowl for a second. Hold whisk above parchment paper and swing it back and forth so that thin strands of sugar fall onto paper. Repeat this a few more times, making a nice little nest of spun sugar (cotton candy).
- Roll cotton candy onto a piece of paper that you’ve rolled into a long, thin cone or a long lollipop stick. Sprinkle with rosemary. If not eating right away, place cotton candy into a container that is airtight. If not, sugar will begin to melt.
