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 most wholesome is that made from black alone, and if one teaspnonful of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may be obtained. The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if " possible, because bright Bubstances retain Ibe hent 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 bettor Tea b.<ing poured out at last. Then tho water must not only have just boiled, but be in the rery act of boiling at the time it is poured orer the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water hng stopped or gone off the boit 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 thoroughly dry and warm before putting the Tea in. In rouring tho boiling water on to tbe Ten it is beat only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t'.ie 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 bettor to use a second teapot, jug, .or large cup, taking care to cover cloaely, and place in the oren: till fully infused, then it may be ndded to that already in the teapot. It' seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea.—and really is so, WHEN TOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McQbwan's. General Notices. 1 George Dalziel, BUTCHE H, !
