Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome 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 infusion 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 admits of a better Tea being poured out at last. Then the water must not only have just boiled, but 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 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 thoroughly dry and warm before patting the Tea in. In pouring 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 ia kept up.,,,,,,, . j When the infusion has once,. been , „ i made it is useless to. add; any [more;,.. > Tea,to that, ai^jady.in. the tcjapbt. , If more be required, it is 'better t to' .] \ |„ , I lis'e'a 1 secondteapVtJjug,jqrlarge'cupi j' . , ''"■ j takin'gf" roard" to ! ipover closely,' and'" l;i " j place in-the'oven' till' frilly infusedy : *' f f ' i then it n¥iy be added' to that already !< ''• '•' ;in the teapot. •It seems an ea»y thing to make a' •< Cup of Good Tba —and really is so," 11' \ •- • WHEN YOU aET: IT'AT -" ;':'; 3/- Tea at McGpwan's.' ••NEW INSUKANCB \ : ■i ld6 IMPAH'F'8 f'ACr-KN'Gfir:. 1' 1 ;v' fTIHE undersigned begs to notify that, hav-' X ing been APPOINTED' by th«r Mew Zealand Insurance Company, their |AGENT for Thames, Ke' has ' OPENED'" NEW OFFICES in ALBERT STREET, near the Wharf.',■•: -o ■■ .- .- ■".'' .-,7i> ,-i ■■ : ;i i EpVfD.::Ho»IBS. : ,O» \ THAMBB A&KN(JX OITICES : . .'•■■'nv-v - Pollen street; Shortlaud ; and Albert street, irjb .; .
