Punch, Burnt

Stir over the fire a pint and a half of rum a pint and a half of claret, and three-quarters of a pound of sugar. When the sugar is melted, and the mixture boils, pour a pint and a half of boiling water over it and the juice of three lemons. This punch may be drunk either hot or cold: if cold, it should be allowed to stand covered in the saucepan till it is cold, and then be poured into decanters. The zest of the lemons should be rubbed off on the sugar before it is put in.
