Stepwise pictorial recipe of homemade candy for cough and cold
1. Wash Basil leaves & Crush cloves to powder and keep aside.
2. Take 1 cup of water in a pan and add Basil leaves in it. Put it on a high flame.
3. When the water begins to boil, bring the flame on low.
4. Let the water boil until it reduces to 1/2 cup.
5. Switch off the flame and remove Basil leaves from the water.
6. Now add Sugar, ginger powder, powdered cloves, lemon juice and honey in that water.
7. Again switch on the flame on high flame.
8. Bring the flame on low when the water begins to boil. Keep stirring.
9. Let the water boil for 15 to 20 minutes.
10. When the water reaches to some thick consistency like that of a soup, switch off the flame.
11. Put the drops of syrup on greased butter paper one by one with the help of a spoon.
12. After the droplets are placed, again sprinkle some icing sugar on the drops.
13. Within 2 to 3 minutes, those droplets will turn hard and become like a candy.
Store them in a dry and cool place in some airtight jar along with some of the icing sugar, so that candies shouldn’t stick to each other.
NOTES
- If you don’t have Basil leaves, then only take 1/2 Cup of water and begin the process from step 6.
- Use fresh ginger juice in case of non availability of ginger powder.
- The substitute of icing sugar is powdered sugar. Just grind some sugar in a grinder and use accordingly.
- Silicone sheet gives better results than butter paper but no worry in case your don’t have such sheet. We too don’t have silicon sheet but butter paper went fine but it must be greased.
