Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The mott wholesome is (bat made from black alone, and if one teaspnonful of tea be I allowrd for each person besides | an extra one for the teapot, an in- ! fusion of excellent strength may be obtained. The Tea should be riinde in a bright metal teapot if poeeible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in tho 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 bring poured out at last. ■ Then the water must not only have just boiled, bul be in the very act of boiling at the time it it poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can ' be made. If the water hue stopped or cone off the boil one half minute, the"Tea will bo 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 wnrm before put- . ting the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water on to the Ten it is best ' only to half fill the teapot, and in ' ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t'ae heat is kept up. ' When the infusion has once been made it is useless to add any more Tea to tbat already in the teapot. If more be required, it is belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, ' tnking care to cover closely, and place in the oven till fully infuecd, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Uood Tka—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
