matcha & coffee rock candy

Don’t let the stick-like handles confuse you: these aren’t your average lollipops. For one, they’re grown over a week in your kitchen using sugar, water and a bit of home science. Remember sprouting crystals as a sprog at school? It’s like that, only entirely safe and delicious to devour. Speaking of delicious, this recipe from The Young Austinian comes with grown-up flavours like matcha and coffee, for a caffeine fix of the sugary kind. Yummo.
