Candy Drops

• A Pound of Sugar
• Water to Dilute
• Flavoring Extract to Taste

These are favorite Candies with the Creoles, and very easy to make. They may be of any size, a lozenge, a tablet or a drop, and they may also be of any color. Pound and sift a pound of sugar that has been doubly refined, first through a coarse and then through a fine sieve. Put it in an earthen vessel, and add the flavoring Extract, whether of Lemon, Orange Cinnamon, Cloves, Rose or Viol
