Into a half-gill of boiling water put a quarter-ounce of dried hoarhound leaves. Cover and let it stand for three-quarters of an hour, then strain and squeeze through a cheese cloth. Add this essence to a half-pound of brown sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved; then add a tea-spoonful of lemon juice, and boil without stirring. Test frequently by dropping some of it into cold water. When brittle, take and pour into shallow, greased pans. When partly cold use a greased knife and cut into small squares.
