  1. Put the prepared stock from four calves'-feet into a stewpan, to melt on the stove-fire; then withdraw it, and add thereto the following ingredients:—Two pounds of loaf-sugar, the juice of six lemons and four oranges, the rind of one Seville orange and of four lemons, half a nutmeg, twelve cloves and two sticks of cinnamon, a small cup of strong green tea, a pint of rum, half a pint of brandy, and a glass of arrack.
  2. Stir these well together, then add six whites and two whole eggs whipped up with a little sherry and spring-water, and continue whisking the punch on a brisk stove-fire until it begins to simmer; then set it down by the side of the fire, and cover the stew-pan with its lid containing some live embers of charcoal.
  3. About ten minutes after, pour the jelly into a flannel or beaver filtering-bag, keep pouring the jelly back into the bag until it becomes quite clear and bright, and when the whole has run through, set it in a mould in ice in the usual way.
