Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
My son wanted to make hard candy, so we did with the Thieves oil blend. The recipe is:
* 2 cups sugar
* 2/3 cup corn syrup
* 3/4 cup water
* 10 drops of Thieves oil blend
* 2 drops red food coloring and 10 drops of yellow food coloring
In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring mix to a boil without stirring. When this reaches 260 degrees, add colorings.
Do not stir, boiling action will incorporate color into syrup. Remove from heat at 300 degrees. After boiling action ceases, add the Thieves Oil and stir. Pour onto a buttered cookie sheet. Let cool and break into pieces.
The candy was great, both of my boys loved it.
