Fahrenheit for about half an hour, and keep agitating the mixture all the time.
I then allow the mixture to cool to a temperature of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit
when I add No. 6 that is pancreatine, and subsequently No. 7 that is the Essence of
pepperment or other flavouring essence, and agitate the whole well while at that
temperature.
I then place the mixture into a suitable mould and allow it to cool and solidify, and
after solidifying the exterior surface may be coated with sugar or other sweetening or
flavouring material, when the preparation is ready for use in the new solid form.
