The Bar-tender's Guide/Punch Jelly
Punch Jelly.
- Take 1 quart of Punch à la Ford.
- Take 3 ounces of isinglass.
- Take ½ pint of water.
Dissolve the isinglass in the water, boiling; add it while hot to the punch, and then pour into jelly-moulds, taking care they are not disturbed until the jelly is completely set.
In a similar manner, orange, lemon, or calf’s-foot jelly can be converted into punch jelly, by using Punch à la Ford, prepared with less lemon juice.
Punch Jelly is a very insinuating and deceptive refreshment, because its strength is not appreciated when partaking of it, and it must therefore be indulged in with becoming moderation.
