Grocery How to Make | a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP op 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 ene teaspoonful 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 substances retain the heat longer than rough ones j 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 the herb admits of a betttr Tea being poured out at last. . ■ * Then the water must mot only ; have just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can : be made. If the water has stopped ; or gone eff 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 from fifteen , i ; to twenty minutes before pouring '■ out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before put- / ting the Tea in. In pouring the boiling water on to tbe Tea it is best. , only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process the keat 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 largo cup, taking care to ■ cover closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, then it nrcy be added to that already in Ibe teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cap of Good Tia—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT. AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
