DISH NAME
ORIGINAL 1862 RECIPE (From The Bon-Vivant's Companion by Jerry Thomas)
Thirty-Second Regiment or Victoria Punch.
(For a party of twenty.)
6 lemons, in slices.
½ gallon of brandy.
½ do. Jamaica rum.
1 lb of White Sugar.
1 ¾ quart of water.
1 pint of boiling milk.
Steep the lemons for twenty-four hours in the brandy and rum; 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.

MODERN RECIPE (For a party of 5)
INGREDIENTS & EQUIPMENT
- 1 ½ Lemons, sliced
- 2 Cups (475 ml) Brandy
- 2 Cups (475 ml) Jamaican Rum
- ½ Cup + 2 Tablespoons (120g) White Sugar
- 1 ¾ Cup (415 ml) Water
- ½ Cup (118 ml) Boiling Milk
- 2 Pitchers
- 1 Jelly bag or a Coffee Filter.

METHOD
1. Add your sliced lemons into a pitcher, then pour the brandy and rum over them. Stir gently, then cover and let sit for 24 hours.
2. After 24 hours, boil the milk, then pour the sugar, water and milk into the pitcher and stir. The milk will curdle, but will be strained out. Then pour, through the filter, into the second pitcher, straining out the lemons and any sugar or milk that did not dissolve. Serve warm or cold.
