  • 3 eyedropper drops essence of ambergris
  • 2 eyedropper drops essence of musk
  • 4 cups confectioners sugar , sifted
  • 1 tsp powered orris root
  • 2 drops yellow food color (optional)
  • 2 drops blue food color (optional)

  2. Add the ambergris and musk, set aside until needed.
  3. Sift two cups of the sugar and the orris root into a bowl.

  5. For white pastilles:
  6. Sprinkle the third cup of sugar on a large plate and, with your fingers, work the paste into the sugar until it is smooth.
  7. For colored pastilles:
  8. Divide the white paste into two equal parts, add a drop of food color to each part.
  9. Blend in each of the colors and set one aside covered (they dry out very quickly) while you work with the other.
  10. Sprinkle half the remanning sugar on a clean plate and work in until smooth.
  11. Pat the paste into a square and cover it with a piece of wax paper. Roll it out gently to a sheet about 3/8 inch thick.
  12. Mark and cut off small squares, triangles and rectangles with a knife.
  13. Sprinkle a cookie sheet with the remaining sugar and place the pastilles on it about an inch apart.
  14. When the pastilles have hardened, loosen them gently with a spatula (they break easily) and store them in an airtight container. You should be able to get about four dozen pastilles from this recipe.
  15. They will keep for six to eight weeks.
