Description
Turkish delight is one of the finest and most popular Oriental sweets. It was prepared from water, sugar and starch. "Pleasure, pleasure, admiration, delight" — as translated into Russian language is a Turkish delicacy. There are huge kinds of Turkish delight, which depend on the added toppings, flavors, and shapes of sweets. Today I am buying cubic lokum (Turkish delight in the form of cubes). "Piece (cube) fun" is distinguished by its airy and literally melts in your mouth, and therefore will satisfy the most finicky sweet tooth. Cook for health!

In a saucepan with a thick bottom to dissolve the sugar in water, add lemon juice. Put on medium heat.

Boil the sugar syrup to the sample on the solid ball. To test the readiness of the syrup, it is necessary to dial a little of the syrup into a teaspoon and drop it into a glass of cold water. When the syrup is completely cooled, it needs to be elastic-hard. You can easily roll a ball. Ready the sugar syrup aside.
