Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of 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 one teoppoonful of tea be allowed for facli person besides an extra one for the teapot, an in- . fusion of'excellent strength may be obtained. Tho Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; & 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 have jusfc boiled, bul be in the Tery act of boiling at the time it is poured orcr the 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 the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, and it should etond 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 Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t'le 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 ia belter to use a second teapot, jug, or largo cup, . taking care to cover closely, and pluco in the oren till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in tho teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea—and really is so, WHEN 3TOU GET IT AT McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea atJ^GGowaxi's, General Kotioes George Dalziel, B U T C H E E, Maby Street, EEGS to Thank the Thames Public for the liberal support accorded to him for the last Ten Years, aud to inform them that he will SUPPLY THE PUBLIC ■WITH S MEATS THE BEST QUALITY AS TTNDEB: — . .
