- Take one pound of raw sugar, put it into an old fryingpan, set it over a slow fire, and stir until it is all dissolved and a deep brown colour.
- Care must be taken at this point that it does not boil over.
- Pour in gently a pint and a half of water, stir until mixed, let it boil up, remove from the fire, put into a jug, and when cold, bottle it.
- A few drops will colour gravy, sauces or liqueurs.
