PUNCH (a la Reine)

Rub the rind of two large fresh lemons with three or four large lumps of sugar till the zest is taken off. Squeeze out and strain the juice of six lemons and two oranges, and add three-quarters of a pound of sugar, dissolved in as much water as will moisten it, and half a pint of water. Freeze the mixture. Stir into the ice a glassful of rum and a glassful of brandy, and freeze again. Whisk the whites of three eggs to a solid froth, and beat up with them four ounces of pounded sugar. Stir this into the ice and serve.
