(from The Cook's Oracle: And Housekeeper's Manual, by William Kitchiner, 1822)
Ingredients:
2 lbs. double refined lump sugar
1 pint cold spring-water
1/2 of an egg white
Instructions:
Break into bits two pounds (avoirdupois) of double refined lump sugar, and put it into a clean stew-pan (that is well tinned), with a pint of cold spring-water; when the sugar is dissolved, set it over a moderate fire: beat about half the white of an egg, put it to the sugar before it gets warm, and stir it well together. Watch it; and when it boils take off the scum; keep it boiling till no scum rises, and it is perfectly clear; then run it through a clean napkin: put it into a close stopped bottle; it will keep for months, and is an elegant article on the sideboard for sweetening.
