1 drop Ginger oil
1 tablespoon ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) powder

Add honey to water. Heat over medium heat in a saucepan until mixture begins to boil. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of pan where it will not touch the bottom or side. Continue boiling until water mixture reaches 300°F on the thermometer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat immediately and allow mixture to cool for 5–10 minutes, or until the consistency becomes syrupy.

Remove from molds and dust again with ascorbic acid powder to keep the drops from sticking together once stored.
