Fine Milk Punch

Ingredients

• 9 large lemons
• 1 quart of brandy or rum
• 1 1/2 pounds of loaf-sugar
• 2 grated nutmegs
• 1 quart of water
• 1 quart of rich unskimmed milk

Instructions

Pare off the yellow rind of the lemons, and steep it for twenty-four hours in the brandy or rum. Then mix with it the juice of the lemons, loaf-sugar, nutmegs, and water. Add unskimmed milk, made boiling hot, and strain the whole through a jelly-bag. You may either use it as soon as it is cold, or make a larger quantity, (in the above proportions,) and bottle it.
