Steps

  1. Prepare the molds. If you don't have any, you can use aluminum foil to make small round cups of the desired size. Grease the lollipop molds. Line a large, shallow baking tray with parchment paper and place the molds on it, in which you will prepare the lollipops.

  2. In a small pot, add sugar, 1/2 cup of water, maple syrup, and corn syrup. Mix well. Place the pot on high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the mixture reaches a temperature of 145 °C. Then add the food coloring and fruit flavor extract. Check the taste: dip a spoon into the mixture, then dip it into cold water. Taste it. If necessary, adjust the flavor by adding more extract.

  3. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a temperature of 150 °C. Pour the mixture into the molds. Add wooden or plastic sticks. Wait for the lollipops to cool and harden completely, which takes about 15 minutes.

  4. Remove the hardened lollipops from the molds and place them in a tall glass. Serve.
