From an

cook book
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

.

There are various ways of making them;
a simple one is the following:
Take a quantity of Sugar and put it in a dish,
with just Water enough to hardly dissolve all the Sugar;
put on a quick fire and boil;
then put in a few drops of Peppermint
(only a few drops),
drop on a tin plate to suit yourself;
stir the Solution until ready to make the Drops.
