Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP 0* TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The mdit wholesome is that made from black alone, and if ene teaspoonful of tea be ' allowed for each person beeides" ii an extra ono for the teapot, an in--...fusion of excellent strengih may be obtained. The Tea should be nifldo in a bright metal teapot if poesible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; b 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 being poured out at last. Then the water must not only hare just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at the time it is poured orer the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has 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 fiftin fifteen : to twenty minutes before' pouring . ■ out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before putting the Tt-a 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 tbe 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 better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to corcr closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a . Cup of Uood Tsa—and really is so, WHiN YOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. \ 31 - Tea at McGowan's.
