HOREHOUND CANDY      
 
1 cup horehound tea
4 cups sugar
2 cups dark or light corn syrup

 

Boil horehound leaves to make a good strong tea. Drain, reserving 1 cup of liquid. Add the cup of tea to the other ingredients and boil until it just starts to caramel. Put onto a flat greased cookie sheet. Start cutting with kitchen shears or scissors as soon as it starts to harden on edges.

 

Note: Horehound tea leaves are available at a specialty tea/coffee shop in Manitou Springs. They should also be available in health food stores.
