DUKE

OF

NORFOLK

PUNCH.

33

This

is

a

composition

worthy

of

a

king,

and

the

mate-

rials

are

admirably

blended

;

the

inebriating

efiects

of

the

spirits

being

deadened

by

the

tea,

whilst

the

jelly

softens

the

niixtui-e,

and

desti'oys

the

acrimony

of

the

acid

and

sugar.

Tiie

whites

of

a

couple

of

eggs

well

beat

up

to

a

froth,

may

be

substituted

for

the

jelly

where

that

is

not

at

hand.

If

the

punch

is

too

strong,

add

more

green

tea

to

taste.

Two

parts

old

St.

Cruz

rum

;

one

part

old

is

a

nice

punch.

60.

Duke

of

Norfolk

Punch.

In

twenty

quarts

of

French brandy

put

the

peels

of

thir-

ty

lemons

and

thirty

oranges,

pared

so

thin

that

not

the

least

of

the

white

is

left.

Infuse

twelve

hours.

Have

ready

thirty

quarts

of

cold

water

that

has

boiled

;

put

to

it

fifteen

pounds

of

double-refined

sugar

;

and

when

well

mixed,

pour

it

upon

the

brandy

and

peels,

adding

the

juice

of

the

oranges

and

of

twenty-four

lemons

;

mix

well,

then

strain

through

a

very

fine

hair-sieve,

into

a

very

clean

barrel

that

has

held

spirits,

and

put

in

two

quarts

of

new

milk.

Stir,

and

then

bung

it

close

;

let

it

stand

six

weeks

in

a

warm

cellar

;

bottle

the

liquor

for

use,

observing

great

care

that

the

bottles

are

perfectly

clean

and

dry,

and

the

corks

of

the

best

quality,

and

well

put

in.

This

liquor

will

keep

many

years,

and

improve

by

age.

(Another

way.)

Pare

six

lemons

and

three

oranges

very

thin,

squeeze

the

juice

into

a

large

teapot,

put

to

it

two

quarts

of

W"an
