a quart of boiling water. Put before the fire a silver or
other bowl to become quite hot, and then put into it
Yi pint of good brandy

Y pound of lump sugar
Juice of a large lemon
Set them alight, and pour in the tea gradually,mixing
it from time to time with a ladle. It will remain burning
for some time, and is to be poured in that state into the
glasses. In order to increase the flavor, a few lumps of
sugar should be rubbed over the lemon peel.
This punch may be made in a china bowl, but in that
case the flame goes off more rapidly.
