Grocery How to Make . a Good Cup of Tea, A GOOD CUP or TEA i§ really a soientifle preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome "is that made from black alone, v ~ and if one tefiipnenfol of tea be allowed for each person betides an extra one for the teapot, an in-, fusion 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 ; 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 being poured out at list. Then the water must, not-only have jusfc boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at the time it ispourod over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water h«s 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 from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before patting the Tea in. In rouring the • boiling water on to the Te:i ft is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process tfie 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 cover, closely, .and . place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already - .in tbe teapot. .. . : % t/ !
