:-;-1 •■■ ■ . Grocery .'■• ;■ '•,'',:;: How to Make a Good GUp of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is , really a soientiflo preparation. Some prefer all black Tea', others a mixture of green. The moat whole* , sbipe is that made from black alone, and if one teaapoonful of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an in* fusion of excellent strength may 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 the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admit* of a better Tea being poured out at last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the my act of boiling at the time it is poured over 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 stand from fifteen "to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be tbo* . roughly dry and. warm before pitting 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\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 mors 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 mvy be added to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, : WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
