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.
