Milk Punch

This agreeable summer drink is made in the following manner. Put into a bottle of rum or brandy the thinly-pared rinds of three Seville oranges and three lemons. Cork tightly for two days. Rub off on two pounds of lump sugar the rinds of six lemons, squeeze the juice from the whole of the fruit over the two pounds of sugar, add three quarts of boiling water, one of boiling milk, half a tea-spoonful of grated nutmeg, and mix all thoroughly well together until the sugar is dissolved. Pour in the rum, stir, and strain until clear; bottle closely. It is important in making punch that all the ingredients be perfectly blended together, consequently too much attention cannot be paid to the mixing. Probable cost, 6s.
