Vegan Honeycomb

Serves 6 | Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 3.5 tsp baking soda (aka bicarb soda)
• 1/2 cup vegan honey or golden syrup
• 1 cup white sugar

METHOD

1. Cover a baking tray in baking paper and place in the freezer to cool.
2. In a small bowl, sift the baking soda and place near the stove.
3. Pour honey into a large pot over low-medium heat. Add in sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until dissolved and don’t stir the mixture again.
4. Using a candy thermometer, slowly bring the mixture to 150°C / 300°F, or just before. Avoid going above this temperature, otherwise it will burn. But make sure the mixture reaches this temperature to ensure the right consistency in the final product.
5. As soon as the temperature hits 150°C / 300°F, immediately pour in the sifted baking soda and stir with the wooden spoon vigorously.
6. Quickly pour the hot mixture on the prepared baking tray and allow to cool for at least an hour or two.

Note: Once you empty the hot mixture onto the baking tray, fill the pot with water to avoid any leftover mixture from setting.
