Thirty-Second Regiment or Victoria Punch.

(For a party of twenty.)

(Recipe from the late William H. Herbert, Esq.)

• Take 6 lemons, in slices.
• Take ½ gallon of brandy.
• Take ½ gallon of Jamaica rum.
• Take 1 pound of white sugar.
• Take 1¾ quart of water.
• Take 1 pint of boiling milk.

Steep the lemons for twenty-four hours in the brandy and rum; then add the sugar, water and milk, and when well mixed, strain through a jelly-bag.

This punch may be bottled, and used afterward hot or cold.

Half the above quantity, or even less, may be made, as this recipe is for a party of twenty.
