flavoured with ; as pink for Rose, yellow for Lemon
or Ginger Lozenges, by mixing some of the colour you
want to use in the gum-water, before you put it to
the sugar.
PEPPERMINT PIPE.
Make the paste the same as directed for Peppermint
Lozenges; spread it upon a marble slab, about a quar-
ter of an inch thick, cut it into lengths, and roll them
upon a smooth stone, with a flat piece of wood. Place
them on sheets of paper, and dry them in a warm stove.
You may streak them any colour you please.
If you wish them to be of any particular colour, mix
some of any of the colours (see Colourings for Confec-
tionary) in the gum water, before you put it to the
sugar.
rose:, lemon, or any other pipe.
Make a paste as directed for Peppermint Lozenges,
excepting that instead of mixing oil of Peppermint with
the gum water, you must mix flavourings, as directed
for Rose, Lemon, Ginger, or any other Lozenges. Spread
it upon a marble slab, about a quarter of an inch thick,
cut it into lengths, lay them on a smooth stone, and
roll them, with a flat board, till round like a pipe, lay
them on clean paper, and dry them in an oven. Colour
the gum-water, as directed for the lozenges.
BATH OR LIQUORICE PIPE.
Dissolve gum tragacanth or gum arabic in a suffici-
ent quantity of water, with Spanish liquorice, and make
into a paste with either of the gums and sugar, as for
Peppermint Pipe.
This is a medicated troch or pipe, and for the pur-
pose they are intended, ought to be made the same as
the Black Pectoral Lozenge of the Pharmacopoeias, from
which, I suppose, the confectioner derived the Bath, or
Liquorice Pipe, viz. “ Liquorice and sugar, each ten
MADE EASY.
83
ounces, gum tragacanth three ounces, water a sufficient
quantity. Or, liquorice and gum arabic, each one
pound, warm water, a sufficient quantity. Dissolve,
strain, and evaporate.”
COMMON PEPPERMINT DROPS.
Make a paste as directed for Peppermint Lozenges,
but not so stiff, and drop it with a tin dropper on
paper, as Nelson's buttons. Put them in a stove or a
warm room, to dry. Colour them, by mixing in the
gum water, before you put it to the sugar, some of
either of the colourings hereafter given (see Colourings
for Confectionary.)
BEST PEPPERMINT DROPS.
Make a paste in the following manner. Into a pint
of spmg water squeeze the juice of a lemon; put a
pound of fine loaf sugar into a drop-pan, (which is a
deep copper pan with a spout and round bottom,) mix
a little of the water and lemon -juice into the sugar, till
it is a paste just thick enough to drop from a spoon,
and so that the drops do not immediately sink into the
rest, but remain on the top for a short time. Put it
over a clear fire, and stir it till it just boils, then take
it off the fire, and put in about eight or ten drops of
the oil of peppermint✪ Best Peppermint Drops, and a little more sugar, so as to
make it just thick enough to drop out: put it over the
fire to warm again, but you must not let it boil. Drop
it in small drops upon tin or pewter plates; let them
get cold, and then take them off, and put them on
sheets of paper or in sieves; put them in an oven to
dry. Colour them with any colour (see Colourings
for Confectionary) when you put in the oil of pep-
permint. r
