coal candy i
3 c. sugar
3/4 c. syrup
1/2 c.
water
1/2 tsp. oil of anise
Food coloring
Boil sugar, syrup and water to hard crack stage. Remove from heat and add
oil of anise plus sufficient blue and yellow food coloring to make mixture
black. Pour candy into very lightly oiled pan and set this pan in a bowl

be obtained in drug store. Oil of anise is much more concentrated then ordinary flavoring.
If using flavoring, use 3 to 4 teaspoons.
