Pink Popcorn with Milk and Sprinkles

INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 drop of pink colouring
- 3-4 tablespoons icing sugar
- a pinch of salt to taste
 

Milk & Sprinkes:
- milk
- rainbow sprinkles
- syrup or honey



      METHOD:
      1. Heat vegetable oil in a medium-sized pot. Then melt butter in oil.
      2. Sprinkle some popcorn kernels into the pot and swirl the pot to coat them evenly in oil. Add a pinch of 
          salt.
      3. Cover the pot with a lid and turn heat to medium. Once the kernels start popping, turn heat to low. Leave
          the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape. Shake the pot vigorously once or twice to allow the rest of
          the kernels to pop. Popping will slow down after 1 to 2 minutes. When it comes to a complete stop,
          transfer it to a large bowl.

      4. Put icing sugar and water in the same pot and bring it to a boil. Add a small drop of pink colouring. Stir
          until the icing sugar is completely dissolved. The sugar mixture should now have a caramel consistency to
          it.
      5. Pour the popcorn back into the pot and stir quickly until it is evenly coated with the sugar mixture.

      6. Prepare some shot glasses.
      7. Wet both the outside and the inside of the glasses with either syrup or honey.
      8. Place some rainbow sprinkles in a bowl or saucer. Hold the glasses upside down while slowly turning
          them until the edge of the glasses is covered with sprinkles.
      9. Fill the glasses with some milk.
