Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 oz Dried rose buds Rose water
-(the white clipped off) 1 Lemon
1 lb Loaf sugar

Finely pound the dried rose-buds. Wet the sugar in rose water, and boil to
a candy height. Put in your powder of roses and the lemon's juice. Mix all
well together, put it on a pie plate, and put it into lozenges, or make it
into any figure you fancy, such as men, women or birds. If you want
ornaments for your dessert, you may gild or colour them to your liking.
