Cinnamon Drops

Mix half an ounce of powdered cinnamon, or half a tea-spoonful of oil of cinnamon, with a pound of pounded sugar and half a pint of water; boil the syrup to a candy height (see SUGAR, BOILING) or until it snaps when put into cold water; then spread it on a large flat dish, well oiled, and score it, before it hardens, into small squares, or drop it evenly on paper. Time to boil, about a quarter of an hour. Probable cost, 8d.
