Grocery How to Stake a Good Cup of Tea. „ A GOOD CUP <if TJJAis reully a scientific pnparation. ' Some prefer all black Te«, others a „.. mixUxxeoi "green. 'Tlji|n«at wholei some is that mndn from black alone, _ ! : and if one teafpnpnful ,of t«a be' 1 allowed' for - oach per»6n .beeides an exlra one for the teapot, nn infusion of excellent strength may .be obtained. The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat loriger than rough ones; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, ! leaving none for the last brewing, an I caiihcnware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea b.-ing poured out at last. Then the water must not only i hnvo just boiled, hut be in the Tery . act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves! or no good Ten can be made. If the water h«s 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] nnd it should stand from fifteen ' to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry aud warm before put* „ ting the T.a in. In rouring the boiling water on to the Tck 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. ' 1 When the infusion has, once been i made it is useless to add any more i Tea to that already in the teapot. i- If more be required, it is belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, tnking care ,to cover closely, and ; place in tho oven till fully infused, tlien it may bo added to that ulrendy in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
