OXFORD PUN CH

We have been favored by an English gentleman with the following recipe for the concoction of punch as drunk by the students of the University of Oxford: Rub the rinds of three fresh lemons with loaf sugar till you have extracted a portion of the juice; cut the peel finely off two lemons more,and two sweet oranges. Add six glasses of calf's-foot jelly; let all be put into a large jug, and stir well together. Pour in two quarts of water boiling hot, and set the jug upon the hob for twenty minutes. Strain the liquor through a fine sieve into a large bowl; put in a bottle of capillaire," half a pint of sherry, a pint of Cognac brandy, a pint of old Jamaica rum, and a quart of orange shrub; stir well as you pour in the spirit. If you find it re quires more sweetness, add sugar to your taste.
