Blessings from Brooklyn, holiday time was when I first heard about hot cocoa and tea bombs. I love the idea of those and I also love the fact that they are easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect! This year, I'm attempting to learn some new Easter recipes. This is something I'm going to try. I appreciate you teaching me something new! I'm using geohoney organic honey, so I'll combine it into your delicious hot tea bomb recipe.
Love this! After you make them, what is the best way to store them and how long do they last? Does it have to be refrigerated or can they be left out? Thank you!
FYI, You don't need to boil water in the pan to clean it. just pour tap water and let it sit for a few minutes, comes right off. I make both toffee and hard candy every year. Hard Candy doesn't stop til 320 degrees so give it a try, one less step.
@@Asteracealia exactly and tells you on the package it's non edible and decoration only. There are many choices of edible glitter available if you look into it.
These are GORGEOUS I made these last yr for winter for my sister!!!!!! I'm more hot chocolate bombs myself lol Love that you added the flowers and glitter SO PRETTY!!!!!!!😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
nice work! but just a small kindly reminder that all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals in the honey would be destroyed under high temperature. Its fine if you only want the taste.
Very cool, I need to try this! Thank you for sharing it. I work with a lot of honey and it can indeed be a pain in the butt to scrape out of a measuring cup, and I thought I was going to have to get one of those plunger style cups but I discovered it is much easier to Google the weight of the volume of honey I need and just put my bowl or pot on my scale so I can squeeze it straight in from the bottle. :)
I tried these and when i placed it into a hot mug of water the sugar glued itself to the bottom and never melted into the water. Anybody else have this problem?
@@natinamartin3326 Don't know how to explain that it's not safe to actually consume; it's literally tiny pieces of plastic that can create microcuts on your internal organs. There's a reason you don't see fancy cooks everywhere on tv using it. The only video I can think of at the moment that explains what your glitter really is is one by SimplyNailLogical where she looks into the 'diamond cappucino' (because she loves holo, the drink appears to be holo, and she wants to know how they did it/if it's really just the plain old glitter it looks like - spoiler, it was). The glitter you bought is literally indistinguishable from nail glitter or cheap craft glitter you'd get at Michaels. I gain nothing from convincing you of the truth except for you and your viewers being safer.
I don’t know how to explain to you you’re not looking in the correct place. www.flourconfections.com/black-edible-glitter-grams-p-4156.html Please educate yourself.
@@nadalacres6566 To be sure I was looking in exactly the right place I followed your link that -you- posted with the video and found, guess what? Plastic glitter. Heck, there are multiple comments and reviews mentioning that it's plastic/don't eat it on the listing! I will concede that there are options like mica or the gum arabic you linked (which will just dissolve in your tea), but you clearly didn't use either, so that's moot. I know they don't offer the beautiful holo or iridescent shine we all want, but that's just how it is. Maybe someday we'll invent something different. Educate myself? How about instead of getting defensive (because you know you're wrong and nobody enjoys feeling like a fool) and linking me clearly different products, you look into this stuff a bit. Again, what exactly do I have to gain here besides helping you?
@@Firecat0 you realize that I did not make this video??? I’m just stating their are more options than what you said. And provided a link. Have a good day and move on.
Omgosh!! I was in total awh! I love love love tea! I mean love tea!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this!! I have to make these now! You made it look soo easy! And your nails looked super cute! 😍🥰
Hello. No worries. I didn’t waste it. You can actually do multiple things with the extra mixture if you don’t use it all for the bombs. You can make lollipops, candies , I also poured mine out and crushed it to make it fine and I have “honey sugar crystals”.
Why the heck did you use glitter doesn't matter if it's food safe that still a micro plastic... Besides that nice recipe will be try this... just don't reck the ocean please
@@Littleladyduck I think you're talking about regular glitter. Edible glitter is made with sugar, acaia (gum arabic), maltodextrin, cornstarch and color additives. It legit isn't plastic.
@@setoshy5796 there is plenty of these do your research dont tell me im wrong bc im not... yes real edible glitter does exist but it rare so always read the label, also edible glitter doesn't sparkle, it shimmers bc it has mica in it ... but that glitter she was using was holographic and there is not such thing as edible holographic glitter ( bc I know if there was bc I'd be all over it ) totallythebomb.com/all-that-glitters-is-not-food-the-truth-about-edible-glitter
@@Littleladyduck okay listen I did google the ingredients of edible glitter. One of the color additives is pearlescent. And even if it was regular glitter they would've gone to the hospital. The product they used was edible luster dust that can be found on Amazon.
Have you found that your pink sphere molds are a tad to small when adding the ingredients needed to make an actual hot cocoa bomb??? Asking as I have found that the bombs do only make enough for a 6oz or 7oz cup of drink of choice. I don’t know anyone who drinks a 6oz size of beverage when enjoying a cup of tea or cocoa, or coffee. Thanks! I love the 70mm 3part molds for my hot cocoa bombs as I’m able to make them for a full 12 oz of hot milk or hot water, depending on preference on size. I do make the smalller 50mm size, the same pink molds that you have I also own & originally started using them 2 year’s ago when I switched from actual hard plastic Christmas tree baubles I would buy for year’s when I could not find the glass ones to use for healing balls, spirit balls, witches balls, etc for gifts, and then used them for the larger bath bombs since the molds weren’t large enough for what I was wanting to make. Have you tried any of the 3 part molds for your bombs of any kind? I adore the heart molds as they are actually a 60mm size overall and a bit larger than the spheres. I plan on making some of these tea bombs for my healing teas I grow all of the medicinals on my property so I don’t have to worry about ordering them online and not Geri the exact plant’s I am looking for. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us. I’ve really enjoyed your videos since locating you through a tie-dye reverse search. Many blessings to you.
Wow. Thank you Pamela for all your kind words! 🥰 I see you’re just as crafty if not more than I am. That’s amazing! The healing bombs sound wonderful! Keep me posted! ❤️ the size of my pink sphere molds are actually the size I like for my bombs. Not too big, and not to little in size. 💕
Nice job but I suggest you do them one by one for the cleanest results. Because when freshly poured its easier to manipulate right away, rather than letting it sit for a few seconds like you did
@@deajay420 it's possible you didn't give them enough time to cool down or that you didn't heat up the mixture long enough causing them to harden improperly due to being too "runny" when poured
Nice stuff...only thing as a friendly tip: can you not talk as if everything is a question? Like that high pitch note at the end of everything you say...it gets really hard to listen to - i muted and turned on the subs.. but great tea bombs =))
These are beautiful I got a chocolate bomb at Christmas and a set of tea, coffee and chocolate bombs for Mother’s Day I have seen ‘juice bombs’ and cotton candy bombs for champagne Can you show how to make wine bombs?
Hi! These are more sticky than the corn syrup ones. I think the honey makes these stickier (mostly the inner shell) but I haven’t found a perfect way to make them less sticky yet. But a storage container definitely is a better option to place them in, instead of paper or a plastic bag.
You could coat the outside with a little powdered sugar after they've been assembled and completely cooled, the should make them a little less sticky as long as you keep them 100% dry
What do you do with the excess honey mixture, if it's not being used for the bombs? Once you add water and boil the honey mixture out of the pot, what do you do with it? That's a lot of honey money.
Hey there! You can actually do multiple things with the extra mixture if you don’t use it all for the bombs. You can make lollipops, if you have a smaller mold for candies you can put some in there, I also poured mine out and crushed it to make it fine and I have “honey sugar crystals”. I added water to clean the pot out, not to make something else with it. I just added that in case someone needed help with the cleaning. Hope this helps. 🙂
Tried making these today. Used my candy thermometer to get it to 290, yet after I poured them, stuffed them, sealed them and set them to the side to cook, they started “melting”. They ended up all lopsided and goofy looking. Should I have got the sugar/honey hotter???
Hey Heidi! Yes, I would heat the sugar and honey a bit longer. Your candy thermometer should have a “hard crack” temp on there. Mine is 305F for a hard crack. Try that out. It should work! ❤️ Good luck! Hope this helps.
Hello Fiony! Thank you for watching! And I would suggest putting them in a Tupperware or individually wrapping them in plastic wrap or cute plastic baggies. I would avoid any paper or cloth to place them in. They may stick. I also read that you can add powdered sugar on them to make them less sticky, but I have yet to try that. Hope this helps! ❤️🙂
@@allthingsohmarie im making this for the nuns, how long can you store these tea bombs. ty, these are so neat. just asking, how come you didnt put the lemon inside the bomb.
A word of advice! Before makon RU-vid videos, make sure you work on your stage presence, and speaking to a camera. Having a script or notes to refer to is also always helpful! These are the kinds of things often taught in a theatre or public speaking class. I highly recommend you take a public speaking class, of some kind. Your video was good, and you have good ideas and a lot of potential! But your voice seems unsteady, like you're not entirely sure what you're doing. Being able to speak without using any "um uh's" is very helpful, and can be worked on rather easily, with just a bit of practice! (Sorry if any of this seemed rude, I'm just trying to help give you some suggestions on how to talk to a camera better, which will hopefully help your channel grow)
