Two tumblers of water, in each is dissolved 15 pieces of cut sugar. Juice of 4 lemons, juice of 2 oranges with the pulp. After the sugar is thoroughly dissolved, pour it into a punch bowl and add lemon juice and stir thoroughly, then add a few slices of lemon peel, and the orange, stirring briskly all the time. 1 1/2 pint sherry is poured or dropped slowly into the bowl, and then is set aside until sufficient ice is powdered like snow, then add slowly to the mixture. Last of all add a lemon and 2 oranges cut as thin a possible and dropped from the knife into the bowl, after which stir for a few minutes with a silver spoon.
