Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is renlly a soienl.ific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome is that made from black alone, and if one teaspoonful of tea be ■ allowed for each person betides „.■ an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent qlrcnglh may be obtained. The Tea should be 111 adn in a bright, metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an earthenware 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 have just boiled, but be in the Tery act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water lms 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 Gftcen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before putting the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water on to the Ten it is best only to hnlf fill the teapot, and iv ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process tie heat is kept up. ' When the infusion has once been : : made it is useless to add any more Ten to that already, in tbo tenpot. If more be.required, it is belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be udded to that already in tho teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
