Answer 1

Hope this helps!

Blown sugar bubbles

3 lbs. granulated cane sugar
1 lb. water

Bring to a boil and add 8 drops tartaric acid. Boil until it reaches
314F. Pour onto a marble slab or a large baking sheet covered in parchment paper. When cool
enough to handle, pull off balls marble to golf ball size, depending
on the size of the bubble you want. Attach to the end of a wooden
straw and blow. Twist the bubble and melt the end shut with a spirit
burner and cut away with scissors.

***Wooden straws are used in the consumption of Yerba and Brazilian Teas just use those and not "special" confectioner straws.
