    • 1 cup velvet falernum

  • Step 1
    Peel the lemons, taking care to avoid as much of the bitter white pith as possible. In a large bowl, combine the sugar with the lemon peels, then lightly muddle and let sit for 20 minutes to allow the citrus oils to infuse with the sugar. Boil 3 cups of water and steep the tea bags in it for 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Step 2
    To the bowl, add the rum, sherry, lemon and lime juices, bitters, and Velvet Falernum. Stir to combine.
  • Step 3
    Add the tea and let cool to room temperature. If serving immediately, add several large cubes to chill.
  • Step 4
    Add lime and lemon wheels and grate some nutmeg over the punch. Ladle into punch cups over ice, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve.
  • Step 5
    If making ahead, bottle and refrigerate. When serving, pour over ice and add grated nutmeg, a lemon or lime wheel, and mint sprigs to garnish.
