Take four large lemons; roll them on the table to make them more
juicy, and then pare them as thin as possible. Cut out all the
pulp, and throw away the seeds and the white part of the rind. Put
the yellow rind and the pulp into a pint of boiling water with two
tea-spoonfuls of raw green tea of the best sort. Let all boil
together about ten minutes. Then strain it through linen, and stir
in a pound of powdered loaf-sugar and a bottle of champagne, or of
any liquor suitable for punch. Set it again over the fire, and
when just ready to boil, remove it, and pour it into a china bowl
or pitcher, to be sent round in glasses.
