Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome is that made from blaclc alone, and if one teaspnonful of tea bo allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may be obtained. - The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if . possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones j a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea being poured out at last. Then the water must not only hare just boiled, but be in the rery act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, for only water really 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 tho- : ■ roughly dry and warm before putting the Tea in. In couring the : boiling water on to tbo Ten it is best . only to half fill the teapot, and in , ten minutes to odd the remainder. By this process the heat is kept up. When the infusion has once been made it is useless to adct'any more . Tea to that already in the teapot. If more be required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in the oren till fully infused, then it may bo added to that already in tbe teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really ia so, WHEN STOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
