(English.)
Take
two
lai-ge
fresh
lemons
with
rough
skins,
quite
ripe,
and
some
large
lumps
of
double-refined
sugar.
Hub
the
sugar
over
the
lemons
till
it
has
absorbed
all
the
yellow
part
of
the
skins.
Then
put
into
the
bowl
these
lumps,
and
as
much
more
as
the
juice
of
the
lemons
may
be
sup-
posed
to
require
;
for
no
certain
weight
can
be
mentioned,
as
the
acidity
of
a
lemon
cannot
be
known
till
tried,
and
therefore
this
must
be
determined
by
the
taste.
Then
squeeze
the
lemon
juice
upon
the
sugar
;
and,
with
a
bruiser
press
the
sugar
and
the
juice
particularly
well
together,
for
a
great
deal
of
the
richness
and
fine
flavor
of
the
punch
depends
on
this
rubbing
and
mixing
process
being
thoroughly
performed.
Then
mix
this
up
very
well
