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 whole* some is that made from black alone, and if one teaepnonful of tea be - allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may he obtained. The Toa should be made 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 Ihe herb admits of a better Tea bring poured out at last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the very act ot boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can he made. If the water has stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak an<* 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 pat* ting the Tea in. In rouring the boiling water on to tbe Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t Tae Heat is kept up. - ' When the infusion hair once been ' made it is useless to add any more Tea to that already in the' teapot. If more be required, it is better 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 added to that already in tbe teapot. . - . It seems an easy tiling to make a Cap of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S! 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
