Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups honey
- 2 tbsp green tea leaves (or 2 green tea bags)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for coating, optional)
Instructions
- Steep the tea:
- Heat ¼ cup of water to just below boiling and steep the green tea leaves (or tea bags) for 5 minutes. Strain and set the tea aside.
- Prepare the ginger and lemon:
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in the steeped green tea.
- Cook the mixture:
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Heat until it reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage).
- Pour and cool:
- Carefully pour the hot mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool slightly until it’s safe to handle.
- Shape the chews:
- Once cool enough to touch but still pliable, cut or roll the mixture into small pieces. Dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking if desired.
- Store:
- Store the chews in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- For a stronger ginger flavor, add an extra teaspoon of freshly grated ginger.
- Use silicone molds for perfectly shaped chews.
- Keep the candy thermometer clean and calibrated for best results.
