Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP orTEA,is . reHlly a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. . The most whole- i some is tbat made from' black alone, ; and if one teaspoonful of tea be allowfd for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an in- ■ fusion of excellent strength may be obtained. Tho Tea should be inodn in n bright metal teapot if, possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; a metal tenpot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapof. being slower in its notion upon the herb admits of a better Tea being poured outnt last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling al the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will bo weak nn<i tasteless, for only water really at'the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, nnd it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm beforo putting the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water en to the Tom it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t!ie hent is kept up. When the infusion has once been made it is useless to add any more Tea to that already in tho tonpot. If more be required, it is better to use a second tenpot, jug, or largo cup, tuking care to cover closely, and pluce in the oven till fully infused, then it may be udded to that ulrosdy in tbe teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea—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 R, Mabt Stbebt, BEGS to Thnnk tho Thames Public for the liberal support accorded to him for the last Ten Years, and to inform them that he will SUPPLY THE PUBLIC WITH MEAT 5 OF THE BEST QUALITY AS UKDEB: — Roast Beef ... from 4d to 5Jd per lb Boiling „ ... „ 3d to 4d do Legs of Mutton ... 4£d . do Chops ... 4£d do Loins Mutton ... 4d do Sides Mutton ... . 3sd do Fore Quarters Mutton 3d do Pork ... fromsdto6d do Lamb in any quantity, from 2s 6d to 4speiQr.
