Punch, English

Rub the yellow rind of a lemon with lump sugar. Put the sugar into the punch-bowl, squeeze the lemon-juice to it, add the spirits-rum and brandy-in such proportions as are preferred. Incorporate the spirits thoroughly with the sugar and lemon before pouring in the boiling water, and keep stirring the whole while this is being added. Some add Madeira or sherry.
