           Sugar; coarsely sifted

      3 dr Prepared cochineal

  Mix some sugar to a stiff paste with rose water; add a few drops of
  prepared cochineal to give it a pink tinge. Put part of the paste in a
  pastille sugar boiler, and stir it over the fire until it boils, then
  hold the sugar boiler in the left hand, inclining it over a baking
  sheet, and, with a wire held in the right hand, cut off the drops as
  then fall from the spout, they wil then fall in even-sized drops on
  to the baking sheet. Put the drops to dry in the hot-closet for
  twenty minutes, and put them on a sieve to cool.
