Ingredients

  • one pint of boiling water
  • a pint of rum
  • a pint of brandy
  • a pound of sugar
  • a teaspoonful of nutmeg
  • a pint of water makes strong lemonade
  • one large lemon
  • two ingredients
  • three lemons to a pint of water makes strong lemonade

  • nutmeg

Directions

1

Half a pint of rum, half a pint of brandy, quarter of a pound of sugar, one large lemon, half a teaspoonful of nutmeg, one pint of boiling water.

2

Rub the sugar over the lemon until it has absorbed all the yellow part of the skin, then put the sugar into a punch bowl; add the lemon juice (free from pips) and mix these two ingredients, well together. Pour over them the boiling water, stir well together, add the rum, brandy and nutmeg; mix thoroughly and the punch will be ready to serve. It is very important in making good punch that all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated; and to insure success, the processes of mixing must be diligently attended to. (This is an old-style punch.)

Three lemons to a pint of water makes strong lemonade; sweeten to your taste.
