Hot Punch

Ingredients

• 1/2 pint of rum
• 1/2 pint of brandy
• 1/4 pound of sugar
• 1 large lemon
• 1/2 teaspoonful of nutmeg
• 1 pint of boiling water

Instructions

Rub the sugar over the lemon until it has absorbed all the yellow part of the skin, then put the sugar into a punch bowl; add the lemon juice (free from pips) and mix these two ingredients, well together. Pour over them the boiling water, stir well together, add the rum, brandy and nutmeg; mix thoroughly and the punch will be ready to serve. It is very important in making good punch that all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated; and to insure success, the processes of mixing must be diligently attended to. (This is an old-style punch.)
