As it starts to boil it will start forming a foam from the salt; make sure to pause the timer and mix it every now and than to prevent it from dripping out of the cup.

DECOCTION PREPARATION:
Prepare the decoction simmering it for at least 3 quarters of an hour and filtering it squeezing well the herbs, in such a manner as not to lose in the residue, part of their active principles. Having done this, now pour into a small non-stick saucepan, sugar and lemon juice.
Melt the compound taking care not to caramelise the sugar immediately. Add, little by little, the liquid in the decoction. As the water in the decoction evaporates leaving in the saucepan a syrupy solution, add another decoction and so forth untill all the liquid is finished. At this point add the honey and mix it well so that it is amalgamated to your syrup.
Keep it on the fire until the compound starts to caramelise and harden, turn off the fire and add the mint essential oil, mix once again. At this point you can form into little balls on greaseproof paper or fill half way some ice trays, let to cool to room temperature and then put in the freezer for at least a couple of hours. Wrap them one by one in food paper and keep them away from heat sources.
