Article: Pour the water into the saucepan, then stir in the sugar and honey. You can use plain water or infused water for more flavorful lollipops. To make infused water: boil some water, then add tea or herbs to it (such as lavender), and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the tea/herbs, then pour the water into the saucepan instead of the regular water. Make sure that the bottom of the thermometer does not touch the bottom of the pot. If you don't have a candy thermometer, don't worry; you can still make this recipe. Do not stir the mixture as it boils. The candy has reached the hard crack stage when the temperature reaches between 300 and 310F (149 and 155C). It will take about 10 minutes for the mixture to reach this stage. If you don't have a candy thermometer, put a drop of the mixture into a glass of cold water. If the mixture turns hard, like candy, it has reached the hard crack stage. You can leave your honey candy as is, or you can flavor it with some lemon juice. Other options also include lemon zest, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and ground or grated ginger. Leave about 3 to 4 inches (7.62 to 10.16 centimeters) between each one to allow for spreading. Remember to leave some space between each row for the lollipop sticks too! If you have any lollipop molds that you'd like to use instead, be sure to grease them with cooking spray first. Give the sticks a twist before letting go. Make sure that the sticks go about halfway up the melted candy. It will take about 25 to 30 minutes for it to do so. After this, you can wrap the lollipops in cellophane or wax paper. They are great as a treat, sore throats, and for stirring into tea to sweeten it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Combine the sugar, water, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Wait for the sugar to dissolve, then clip the candy thermometer to the side of the pot. Turn the heat on to high, let the mixture come to a boil, then wait for it to reach the "hard crack" stage. Take the saucepan off the stove, then stir in your flavorings, if desired. Pour small drops of honey onto a sheet of parchment paper using a spoon. Insert lollipop sticks into the drops. Let the candy harden.

The first thing you need to do is sterilize the scissors you will be using to snip off the skin tag. You can do this using a few different methods. The most thorough way is to use an autoclave (sterilization device) but you may not have one readily available and they can be expensive to buy. Cheaper alternatives include thoroughly cleaning the scissors with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball, or boiling the scissors in a pot of water for ten minutes. Wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap and carefully place the sterilized scissors on a clean towel and leave to dry. Avoid touching the sterilized blade from this point on. This will extend the skin tag and give you more space to get the scissors as close to the base of the tag as possible. Before you do this, you can numb the area with a little ice to minimize pain, however removing the skin tag is no more painful than a pinch, so this is probably unnecessary. Position the scissors slowly and carefully to ensure that you will snip the skin tag as close to the base as possible, without cutting the surrounding skin. Once you are in position, snip quickly to minimize pain. It should feel like a quick pinch. Instead of using sterilized scissors, it is possible to use a nail clippers to remove the skin tag instead. The nail clippers may be easier to use if the skin tag is on the back of your neck, or anywhere hard to reach. Just be sure to sterilize the nail clippers using one of the methods outlined above before using. The base of the skin tag will probably bleed a little after cutting, but this is normal. Take care to disinfect the area before covering, as the last thing you want is to develop an infection. Use a little rubbing alcohol or iodine on a cotton ball to do this. Cover the area with a skin-colored band-aid and allow the skin tag at least 24 hours to heal. If any signs of infection should develop, such as swelling, tenderness, redness or oozing around the wound, consult your doctor immediately.
