Grocety How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is , really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all blark Ten, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome if that made from, black alone, ;> " anrf "if ene teaspoonful of tea" be - *"- allowed for each person besides an cxl ra one for the teapot, an in* fusion of excellent strength may ' be obtained. The, Tea should be innde in a bright 'metal teapot if possible/because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; a metal teapot extract* all the. strength in the first infusion of Tea, '■ leaving none for the last brewing, an _ - ■ earthenware teapot being slower in ila action upon the herb admits of a , :. better Tea being poured out 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 Tea can be made. If the water hus stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak an«l 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 put* ling the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water en to, the Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to odd the remainder. By ihis process t!ie heat is kept up. ' When th« 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 belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, 1 taking care to cover closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. , It seems an easy tiling to moke a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. ! 3/- Tea at McGowan's. j i .
