Poisoned Apples

Instructions

1. Conjure up some lightning in your secret laboratory so you can see more clearly, then summon the spirit of the Mirror.
2. Rinse the apples, remove the stems and insert wooden twigs or sticks into the center, pushing them in well so they are secure.
3. Roll the lemon back and forth several times across a work surface under the palm of your hand, pressing firmly, then cut into half and collect the juice.
4. In a cauldron as black as your soul, melt the fructose with the lemon juice and bring to a boil. When the candy is golden but not get coppery, add four drops of blue coloring to each one drop of black (according to the Mirror's advice).
5. Mix and remove from the heat.
6. Take the apples in the candy, coating them completely with both the sugar and your resentment.
7. Place the apples on a plate lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely, until the candy is as dry as your heart.
