Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. i i ■, m ~—^*m A GOOD OUP op TEAie really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. ' The most whole- . some ia, that made from black alone, and if one teaspoonfulof 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 substances retain the heat longer than rough - - ones 5 a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, ' ' t learing none for the last brewing; an ' • earthenware teapot-being slower in i ita action .upon the herb admits of a I bettor Tea being poured out at last. ' Then the water.must not only | hare just boiled, but be in the Tery act of boiling at the time it ia poured OTer the leares, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has stopped { or gone eff the boil one half minute, I the Tea will b« weak and tasteless, for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of the [ Tea, and it should stand from fifteen j to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry, and warm before putting the Tea in. In souring 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 the 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 belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to corer closely, and place in the oren till fully 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, I WHEN YOU GET IT AT • McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
