Grocery How to Make a &ood Cup of Tea. A GOOD OITP of TEA fa -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 teaspoonfut of tea be allowed for. • each person betides an extra one for* tbe teapot,.an infusion of excellent strength, may . , be .obtained. The .Tea should rbe made in a bright'metal teapot if possible; because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ' ' ants ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the la«t brewing, an • earthenware teapot being, slower in,, ita action upon the herb admits of a better Tea being-poured out at last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the rery act of boiling at the^iine'ifc ispoured . over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water h»s stopped or gone'elf .the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, 1 for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of tbe ' Tea, and it should stand from fifteen - •'' to twenty .minutes before , pouring out. The teapot should he thoroughly dry and warm before patting the Tea in. In touring 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!ie 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 the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good TiA-r-and really is so, WHEN YOV GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's. , ———• '' • ——— General Notices George Dalziel, B U T C H E E, Mabt Stbht, BEGS to Thank the Thames Public for the liberal support accorded to him for the last Ten Years, and to inform them that he will SUPPLY THE PUBLIC WITH S MEAT S OF THE BEST QUALITY AS UNDER: — „ Roast Beef ... from 4d to 6Jd per 1b Boiling „ ... „ 3d to 4d do Legs of Mutton ... 4}d do Chops ... , 4|d do Loins Mutton ... 4d .do Sides Mutton ...
