i\fake a quart of good, well-steeped t ea. Then t ake a large punch-bowl

a nd put in t hree-qua rters of a piut of cognac, one-quarter of

pint of Jamaica

rum, the fresh juice of four lemons and six heaping teaspoonfuls of sugar. Set

this mixture on fire and stir rapidly, a dding the hot tea slowly the while.

sugar has absorbed all the moisture from the rinds, throw them away.
