Grocery i i ■ "■ ' How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Borne prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome is that made from black alone, and if one Uaipoonful of tea be allowed for each person besides ■ ?; an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strengih may be obtained. The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if poesible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; a metal teapot extracts all the , strength in the first infusion of Tea, leafing none for the last 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 have just boiled, bul be in the rery act of boiling at the'time it is poured orcr the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water Ims 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 tho- " roughly dry and warm before putting the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water en to tbe 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 largo cup, taking care to cover closely, and pluce in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already j in tbe teapot. . ■.
