Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP or TEA is really a scientific preparation. . Some prefer all black Tea, others a , mixture of green. The mott wholesome is that-made from black alone, and if one teupnonful of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an in* fusion of excellent strength may - be obtained. . The Tea should be made in ■ bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer, than rough ones ; a metnl teapot, extracts all the strength in the, first infusion of Tea, leading none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in iis action upon the herb admits of a better Tea basing poured out at last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the rery act of boiling at the time it is poured orer the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water h«s stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, i 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 putting the Tea in. •In pouring the boiling water en to the Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add 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 be' required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, tnkiug care to cover closely, and plnco in tho orcn till fully infused, then it may be added to that already ' in tbo teapot. It seems an easy tiling to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. , 3/- Tea at McGowan's. ■ ': • • ' "" i General Notices George Dalziel, B U T C H E.E, Mabt Stbbxt, BEGS to Thank the Thames Public for the liberal support accorded ta him for the last Ten Years, and to inform them that he will SUPPLY THE PUBLIC WITH i S:. : .
