Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. AG OOD CUP of TEA w really a scientific preparation. -Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome is that made from black alone, and if en* teaspnonful of tea bo allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an inj fusion of excellent strength may | 'be obtained. The Tea should be rnnde in a bright' metal teapot if' possible, because bright substances ' retain the heat longer than rough ones ; a metal (eapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an , earthenware teapot being slower in its notion upon the herb admits of a belter Tea bsing 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 h»a 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 tbo-. roughly dry and wnrm before putting the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water en to the Ten it iarbeafc only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t^ie heat is kept up. ' When tba 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 largo cup, taking care to cover closely, arid place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that ulready in the teapot. It seems an easy tiling to make a . Cup of Good Tba —and really is so, WHEN 3TOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
