Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for your comment. I did not add add’l water when making this and had no problems with burnt honey. However, as “candy” making is a bit finicky, it’s not a bad idea to have water nearby;). Just keep stirring throughout the process…you do want the honey to thicken and coat the ginger well. It will lose some of its nutrient benefits being heated above 110 deg F, but it’s still better in my opinion than using sugar.

Hey Darryl, when you say ‘return to pot and add honey…’ are you putting some water back in with that? Won’t the honey get all burned up in the pot on 20 min med heat?
Thanks,
Chris,

Thanks for your comment RJ! It’s great that you don’t get nauseous, the tips may prove helpful if a cycling budyy ever does. And, yes, I use these for fuel regardless of how my stomach feels, they are truly great-tasting and refreshing b/c most candy, gels, etc leave a sweet taste in your mouth, and these have a spicey ginger kick! I’m working on determining the grams of carbs so I can give recs on how they can be used as fuel more precisely, but it’s a bit difficult since some of the honey drains off. I hope you enjoy them!

I don’t generally get naseau while cycling but these are some great suggestions in case I ever find myself in that situation. I like the taste of ginger so just might make these as a little candy treat anyway.

Thank You.
