Rub the peel of three lemons on one pound of sugar and put in a bowl; squeeze the juice of the lemons over, and grate half a nutmeg and add with a bottle of rum. Mix thoroughly and let stand over night, then add one quart each of boiling water and milk. Allow the mixture to stand covered two hours. Filter through a flannel bag until the punch is absolutely clear, and serve ice cold.
