PUNCH (a la Regence)

Take the thin rind of two lemons and two Seville oranges. Put them into a bowl, with a small piece of vanilla, four cloves, and an inch of stick cinnamon. Pour over them a hot syrup, made with a pound and a half of refined sugar boiled in a pint of water. Let these ingredients infuse for several hours. Mix with them the strained juice of twelve lemons, and rum and brandy according to taste. Strain the liquid through a fine napkin. Bottle immediately, and put it in ice until it is wanted.
