Punch in Haste

Rub the rind of a fresh lemon with a large lump of sugar till the yellow part is taken off. Crush it to powder, with a quarter of an ounce of citric acid, and pour over it a pint of clarified syrup. Put a table-spoonful of this flavoured syrup into a pint of water, add a glassful of rum or a glassful of brandy, or a mixture of both, and serve.
