Regent's Punch

Take the very thin rinds of two lemons, two China oranges, and one bitter one. Pour over them half a pound of white sugar-candy which has been boiled to a thin syrup with water and allowed to cool. Let the rinds infuse for an hour. Pour over them a pint of cold strong green tea, and add the strained juice of the fruit, a glass of rum, a glass of brandy, a glass of arrack, a glass of pineapple syrup, two bottles of champagne, and one of seltzer water. Strain the punch through lawn till it is quite clear, bottle immediately, and put it into ice for an hour or two till wanted. Serve in a bowl or jug. If preferred, instead of using pineapple syrup, a fresh pineapple may be sliced into the punch.
