Finally catching up. Beautiful garden mate. They're coming along nicely.
I'm looking forward to hearing how the lolly goes.

Wow. Only a half a milligram?!? What is a normal dose for you if you wouldn't mind sharing?
That sounds like some powerful stuff!

And now for a FEELING GUILTY UPDATE:
Having said that I was going to keep good notes when I made the pops, I felt bad about not doing exactly that. I blame the daily tincture doses but, hey, I have to take at least some of the responsibility!
Anyway here's some of the info:
Here's a pic of the lollipop kit, including the little plastic bags, lolly sticks and ties:
This is the flavor emulsion I used:
The candy thermometer caused the only glitch in this project. I thought I had everything I needed because I was planning on using my everyday meat thermometer. But it only measures to 190F and I needed something that would measure to 300F.
So I had to suspend the project and run to the craft store to get a candy one. Luckily there's a craft store less than 2 miles away.
Even if I could have used it, using my meat thermometer would have been a PITA because I would have had to hold it in place over the very hot, boiling mixture for an extended period. (Once the mixture started boiling it still took about 10+ minutes to reach 300 degrees.)
The candy thermometer has a metal clip on the back that you slide onto your saucepan to hold it in place!
And finally, here is the recipe I used along with my chicken-scratch notations on how I altered the recipe. I didn't alter it much, just cut back on a little sugar and increased the amount of tincture by a tad (tee hee).
With the candy mixture you have to be really quick with the pour because it sets to a thick gooey mass shortly after being removed from the heat. I think I still have about 4-5 pops in the saucepan just because I didn't get it poured out fast enough. (I plan on re-heating it and trying to pour it out again.)
There. Now I feel much better!
I had planned to have a few pancakes for breakfast this morning and then test a lolly. But Mrs. GDB started cooking Thanksgiving dinner last night and the fridge is now packed with prepped dishes and the pancake batter is no where in sight.
My Lazy-Meter vetoed the idea of pulling stuff out to find the batter and instead convinced me to just have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, so that's what I'm going to do.
Then the testing begins! Braveheart will be testing on the smallest pop (shallowest pour) of the batch!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
PEACE.

That was a mistake. I meant to say .5 milliliters. Thanks for bringing that to my attention Azimuth!
And, believe or not, due to my time on 420 I'm doing better than I ever have with metric measurements!
