Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. I Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most whole* some is that made from black alone, ! and if one teaipoonful of tea be allowed for each'person besides i.. . anexlva on* for th» ■> teapot, an 4»«fusion of excellent strength mty be 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 tbe 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 enly have just boiled, but be in the Terr act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water hns stopped or gone off tbe boil one half minute, the Tea will ba weak and tasteless, 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 be. thoroughly dry and warm before putting tbe Tea in. In rouring 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 tha infusion has onoe 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 msy be added to that already in tbe teapot.
