Grocery How to Make a Good Cup : ; of Tea; Ht- QO O D 0U P o» TE A is xx really a soientific 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 infusion ijtt 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 of 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 last. Then the water must not only hare just boiled, but be in the rery act ot boiling at the time it is pound • ; orer the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water hai 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 tho* = roughly dry and warm before p«t- ■' • ting the Tea in. In pouring the boiling water on to the Tea it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in • ten* minutes to add the remainder. : ' By this process tlio heat is kept up.. >-: When the infusion has once-been ' ■ made it is useless to nd» any more Tea' to that already in the teapot. „ If more be required, it is. hotter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking- care to cover closely, and place in the oten till fully infused, '. then it may be added to that already in the teapot. ' It seems an easy thing to make.a Cap of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
