' Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP o* TEA ii really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black lea, 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-in* . " fusion of excellent strength may bo 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 tba last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a bettvr Tea being poured out at last. Then the water must not only bate just boiled, but be in the rery. ; act of boiling at the time it is poured ; , over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water hss stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, for only water really at th« 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 tboroughly dry and warm before patting the Tea in. In routing the . boiling water on to the Ten it is best ' only to half fill the teapot,. and. in - ten minutes to add the remainder. 1 By this process the heat is kept up. When.the infusion has once been - made ifc 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.
