CHRISTMAS PUNCH

Just 4 u

For those who like punches (and who doesn't at Christmas?) here is an excellent
recipe:

Rub eight pieces of lump sugar on two big lemons, collecting all the fragrant
essential oil possible. Put the lumps in a bright saucepan with ¼ teaspoon of ground
cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of grated nutmeg and ground cloves mixed, and a fair pinch of
salt. Put in 8 oz. each of brandy and Jamaica rum and add 16 oz. of boiling water. Heat up
the bowl, and strain into it the juice of two lemons.
Heat up the mixture in the pan just to miss boiling point and strain it through muslin in colander or sieve into the bowl. Now add one pint of a good white country wine—elderflower, gooseberry, rhubarb or apple,
preferably sparkling—and serve with a cube of pineapple in each cup.
