Regent's Punch

Ingredients

• 4 large lemons
• 1 pint of boiling water
• 2 tea-spoonfuls of raw green tea of the best sort
• 1 pound of powdered loaf-sugar
• 1 bottle of champagne, or of any liquor suitable for punch

Instructions

Take lemons; roll them on the table to make them more juicy, and then pare them as thin as possible. Cut out all the pulp, and throw away the seeds and the white part of the rind. Put the yellow rind and the pulp into the boiling water with the raw green tea. Let all boil together about ten minutes. Then strain it through linen, and stir in the powdered loaf-sugar and champagne. Set it again over the fire, and when just ready to boil, remove it, and pour it into a china bowl or pitcher, to be sent round in glasses.
