English Milk Punch.

(To make six bottles.)

  • Take 2 quarts of water.
  • Take 1 quart of milk.
  • Take 1 quart of old Jamaica rum.
  • Take 2 quarts of French brandy.

Add the milk to the water. Mix the spirits, and pour them into the milk, stirring the mixture for a short time. Let it stand for an hour, then filter through blotting-paper into bottles. This would be sufficient for six bottles. If, after filtering, the punch is not clear, the addition of a small portion of isinglass to each bottle will clarify it.
