Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TBAii 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 teaspoonful of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra one for. the teapot, an in- " fusion of 'excellent strength < may . be obtained. The Tea should be jnado in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances . retain the heat loog«r than rough one's ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion cf 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 tho water must not only . have just boiled, bul be in the very act of boiling at the time it ispoured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has stopped or gone eft" 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 ■ wjirm before putting the Tea - in.' In Touring the boiling water oh to the Te;« it is best, , only to' half fill the teapot, and in . > ten minutes to ndd the remainder. ; T&J this process the heat is kept up. - When the infusion has once,been ' made it is useless to add Sny: more • i 1 Tea to that already in the teapot. . If more be required, it is better to . ' , ■ use a second tespot, jug, or large'cup, : taking care to cover closely, and < place in the oven till folly infused, then it may be added to that already ' in the teapot. ' It seems an easy thing to make a ' ! Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, , j WHEN yOU; GET IT AT .. r j - McGOWA^'S. ! - j 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
