Learn about the Swedish history of candy cane making from professional polkagris bakers, while attempting to bake your own. The recipe was discovered by accident during the 18th century, when a mother tried to make home-made cough medicine for her daughter. The mix of sugar, water, vinegar, and peppermint oil may not have soothed her daughter’s throat, but it did become a delicious treat and candy canes are now sold throughout the world.
