Tea Funch
Make an infusion of the best green tea, an ounce to a quart of
boilingwater. Put before the fire a silver or other bowl to become
quite hot, and then put into it
Yi pint of good brandy
Yz pint of rum
Yi 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 isto 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.
