Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP ot TEAis really a scientific preparation. . Some prefer all black Tea, bthtfri a mixture of green. 'The most wholes some is that made from black alone, ~ and if ene teaspoonfnl of tea "be- - allowed for - each ■ person besides,-.- - an oxtra one for the teapot, an inI fusion of excellent ■ strength may ■• ; -be obtained. . The Tea should be I made in a bright metal teapot if | possible, .because bright substances , 1 retain .the heat longer than, rough ! .' ones; a metal teapot extracts all the i strength in the first infusion' of Tea, I ' 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. - 1 Then. the - water must not' only . have just boiled, bul.be in the very act of boiling at the time it is poured. ; over the leaves, or no good .Tea can be-made. ..If the wafer'has stopped or gone off the boil one half minute,' trie Tea will be weak afai* .'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 pmt* ting 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 the 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 Txa—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
