Grocery How to Miike a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD-OTJP ofTEAh really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tcu, others a mixture of green. The most wholeiome is that tnado from black alone, aud if ene tcaspoonful of ten be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength inaj be obtained. The Tea should bo made in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; & metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, : leaving none for the last browing,'an earthenware teapot being slower in its nction upon the herb admits of a bolter Tea being poured out at last. Then the water must not only bare just boiled, but be in the very acl of boiling at the time it is poured ' over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water ban stopped' or gone off the boil one half minuto, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, for only water rcnlly at the boiling ; point will extract the qualities of the Tea, and it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before putting the Tea in. In Touring the boiling water on to the Tea it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to ndd the remainder. By this process the heat is kept up. When the infusion has once been made it is useless to add any more Tea to that already in the teapot. If more bo required, it is belter to use a second teapot, jug, or largo cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in the oren till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot.' It seems an easy thing to make a Cap of Good Tsi—and really is'so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's. Government Notices HATXJIAZI GOLD MINING DISTRICT.
