Iceland Moss Cough Candy.

Soak a large handful of the moss over night, then wash repeatedly. Take from the last water, put in a thick porcelain lined saucepan with cold water to cover well and let it simmer over the fire until of a thick, starchy consistency. To every cup of the thickened water add a pound of sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until a little dropped in cold water makes a creamy ball. Take care it does pot scorch. Pour into buttered bread tins, so that It does not spread out too thin, as It should be about half an inch thick. Cut into squares.
