Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP ob TEA is 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 featpoonful 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 wado 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 betttr Tea being poured out at last. Then the water must net only have just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at the time it is poured over tbe leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, for only water really at (ha boiling point will extract the qualities of tbe Tea, and it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before p*t> ting the Tea in. In touring the boiling water on to tbe Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process tbe 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 tbe oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It stems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT McGdWAWS. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
