Ginger Lemon Nausea Lollipops
Why it works: Ginger is one of the most studied kitchen remedies for a queasy, unsettled stomach, and a slow-dissolving lollipop is the easiest way to take it on the days you feel too sick to drink anything at all.
Ingredients
Steps
Stir the sugar and water in a small pot over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves.
Clip on a candy thermometer and boil, without stirring, until it reaches 300F (hard-crack stage).
Take it off the heat, stir in the ginger and lemon juice (it will hiss), then pour quickly into the molds with the sticks set in.
Let them cool and harden completely, about 20 minutes, then pop them out.
Kitchen noteHot sugar burns instantly, so keep kids clear and work fast. Tuck a few in your bag for car rides and waiting rooms.
