0 frogs
1 small egg white
30g icing sugar (sifted)
1 heaped teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon rum flavouring
1 teaspoon green food colouring
Carefully take no frogs, and do not dry them. Whisk the egg white untill stiff. Gradually beat in most of the sugar using a wooden spoon. Sift in the cinnamon, add the rum flavouring and the colouring and stir untill well blended. Add enough of the remaining sugar to form a mixture that doesn't stick to the fingers when patted. Line a backing tray with greaseproof paper, roll the mixture into pea-sized balls, place them on the tray and leave to set for 8 hours. Take one whenever the world gets too much, or when the voices tell you to.
