To candy Cassia. TAKE the quantity of powder of brown cassia as will lie upon two broad shillings, with what musk and amber-grease you think fitting: the cassia and perfume must be powdered together; then take a quarter of a pound of sugar, and boil it to a candy height; first put in your powder, and mix it well together, and put it in paper saucers, or what which must be buttered very thin, and when it is cold it will slip out: the cassia may be bought at Lon- don; sometimes it is in powder, and sometimes in a hard lump.
