1 lemon & 1 orange, sliced
1 Tbsp. whole cloves
1 Tbsp. allspice

- simmer this mixture for 1 - 2 hours, then add

1 gal. white wine
2 cups rum

- and heat for 10 minutes.  Serve HOT.

For your further enjoyment, here's a listing of the song names in Japanese
from the TWW box set, translated back into English.  For some reason, 
only some of the song names are actually translated into Japanese; 
others are transliterated (i.e.  the English pronunciiation is approximated) 
while the rest are simply presented in English.  In the following list, 
the text in quotes are the Japanese transliteration of English words.
(Absent song titles are either printed in English ONLY or not mentioned 
in the booklet.)
