Punch Ice-Cream

Make about one-half teacupful of strong green tea, strain it when cold, mix with it one pint of rich cream, and add two wineglassfuls of rum and the strained juice of half a lemon. Sweeten the cream to taste, pour it into a freezing-pot, work it until well frozen, then pack it in a mould, and bury it in pounded ice and salt for an hour. When ready to serve the mould must be dipped into hot water, wiped quickly, and then turned out onto a hot dish.
