Royal Punch.
(For a small party.)
- Take 1 pint of hot green tea.
- Take ½ pint of brandy.
- Take ½ pint of Jamaica rum.
- Take 1 wine-glass of Curaçoa.
- Take 1 wine-glass of Arrack.
- Take Juice of two limes.
- Take A slice of lemon.
- Take White sugar to taste.
- Take 1 gill of warm calf’s foot jelly.
To be drunk as hot as possible.
This is a composition worthy of a king, and the materials are admirably blended; the inebriating effects of the spirits being deadened by the tea, whilst the jelly softens the mixture, and destroys the acrimony of the acid and sugar.
The 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.
