Punch, Pony

Take a tea-cupful of very strong green tea. Rub the rind of a fresh lemon upon two or three lumps of sugar, and put them into it; add the strained juice of three lemons, a tea-spoonful of essence of cinnamon, a quarter of a grated nutmeg, half a pound of sugar dissolved in a quarter of a pint of water, a bottle of Chablis made hot, a gill of brandy, a gill of rum, and a wine-glassful of arrack. Mix the punch thoroughly, strain, and serve hot. Time, half an hour to prepare. Sufficient for a little more than a quart of punch.
