- 1 tablespoon ginger finely grated

Once it starts boiling stir vigorously until the honey has turned a very dark caramel color (about 5 minutes).Pour the mixture on the greased tray. Cool to room temperature.
2. Making balls
- Cover your hands with a bit of oil and put enough of the coconut mixture on your palm to roll into balls about 1.5 in [4 cm] in diameter.Rest on the greased tray.
