Juice of 12 lemons. Put the skins in a pitcher and pour on them 1 qt. of boiling tea (made of green and black mixed, 3 or 4 teaspoonsful of each). Let it stand 10 minutes, add 1½ lbs. sugar and 1 qt. of old Jamaica rum. Strain and bottle, corking very tightly, and it will keep 6 months in a cool place. Do not let the tea draw until it becomes bitter, and if you like it very sweet add more sugar. Serve in a bowl with crushed ice. Makes nearly 3 qts. Should be made at once, and allowed to stand well corked. English breakfast tea can be used.
