Grocery • How to Make a Good Cup of Te&. AGOOD CUT of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer nil black Ten, others n mixture of green. The inott whole* ■ - some is that.mado from black alone, . . ' and' if one leaspnonfi*) of ten be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an ihfußioh 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; a motal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last browing, an earthenware tenpot being slower in its notion upon the herb admits of a better Tea being poured but at last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Te» can be made. If the water has stopped or gone'off the boil one Half minute, Che"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 thoroughly dry and wnrm before put- | ting the Tea im In roaring the boiling water on to the Ten it is beat ■ only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process tiie 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 be required, it is better to use a secoud teapot, jug, or largo cup, taking care to cover closely, and .'place in.the oven till.fully infused, then it may be added to that ulready in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a' Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, . WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
