- up to 1Tbsp ground cinnamon
- up to 1/2 tsp ground white pepper

Method
- Bring the honey to a boil and skim off any scum.
- Keeping the pan over very low heat, add the ground spices and food colouring, adjusting the quantities to suit your taste.
- Beat in bread crumbs a little at a time, adding just enough to achieve a thick, stiff, well-blended mass.
- Remove from the heat and turn the mixture into a bowl to cool.
- Roll or pat the gingerbread into a square shape, 1/2" to 1" thick and cut into small squares or slices.
- Use a clove to attach a small leaf to each piece.
