Skin the 4 lemons, put the peels into a heatproof bowl. Add 1 cup Sugar in the Raw, then mash the peels and sugar together with a muddler. Bring a quart of water to a boil, remove from heat, and add 4 (black) tea bags. Steep the tea for 5 minutes, then pour onto the sugar and lemon peels. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup fresh-squeezed strained lemon juice. Add 2.5 cups cognac, 1.5 cups dark rum. None of the Malibu crap. Stir well and chill in the refrigerator. To serve - pour in a punch bowl, gently place the block of ice in, grate the nutmeg over it. Thanks Esquire! |
