  • a pint of water
  • pepper

Directions

Put four ounces of lump sugar, a gill of water, and half an ounce of the finest butter into a small tosser, and set it over a gentle fire. Stir it with a wooden spoon, till of a bright brown. Then add half a pint of water; boll, skim, and when cold, bottle and cork it close. Add to soup or gravy as much of this as will sive a proper colour.
