Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation, Somo prefer nil black Ton, others a - ■ niitturo of green. The most whole-, , •ome ia that made from black alone, and if one tempoonful of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the lenpnt, nn infusion of excellent; strength may toe obtained. The Tea should bo made in a bright; metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain (ho bent longer thnn rough ones ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none tor the lust 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, bril be in the Very ' net of boiling nt the time it is poured over the !ea?es, or no good Tea can be made. If the,wnter his 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 thoroughly dry and warm before put* ting the Tea in. In roaring the boiling water en to the Tea it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder, ■ ' By this process tlie heat is kept up., , When the infusion has once been made it is useless to add any in ore . ■ Tea to that already in the teapot. , If more bo required, it is belter to ' 'use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care, to cover closely, and '. place it) the oven till fully infused, then it may bo added to that already in the teapot. ; . . ■ / It seems an easy thing to mnke a Cap of Good Tea.—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
