Horehound Lozenges

Horehound Lozenges

1 c horehound
2 c water
2 c sugar
1/8 t cream of tartar

Combine horehound and water in heavy sauce pan and boil until reduced to 1 cup, usually 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and return to pan.

Add sugar and cream of tarter, stirring well over low heat to fully dissolve. When dissolved cook over medium heat until it reaches about 290 on candy thermometer or until it forms a hard ball when dropped in cold water. Carefully pour into candy molds or into buttered pie plates to harden. Break into pieces and store in airtight container in cool dry place, away from sunlight

Thanks for the recipe. I use to buy horehound lozenges. They work really well.
