Pulled Peppermints

Boil together three cupfuls of granulated sugar, one-and a half cupfuls of water and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of tartaric acid until on trying in cold water it will almost crack, but if held a moment can be rolled into a hard ball. Do not stir, but pour into a buttered dish to cool. As soon as it can be handled, add one teaspoonful of extract of peppermint and pull it white, then cut in sticks.
