The recipe
Ingredients
Directions
Mix softened gum with sugar to form a firm paste.
Divide the paste into small portions and dry them in a warm place.
Grind the dried pieces and sift through a fine sieve.
Combine the resulting powder with more sugar and softened gum to create a soft paste.
Ensure the paste is smooth, elastic, and does not shrink while drying.
