How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most whole* some is that made from black alone, and if;one tcaspoonful of tea be allowed for ouch person .besides ' - an extra one for tho teapot, an in* fusion of excellent strength may be obtained. The Tea should be niMde 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 lust brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in ile 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 iv the very act of boiling at tbe time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water has stopped or gone eff the boil one half minute, the Ten will be weak and tasteless, s for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, nnd it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutcn before pouring out. .The teapot'should be thoroughly dry and wnrua boforo patting tho Tea in. In rourfng the boiling water on to the Ten it is best only to half fill the tcapct, and in ten minutes to edd the-remainder. By this process t l>e heat is kept up. When the infusion has once Jbeen made it is useless to add any more . . ' Tea to thul already in the teapot. If more bo required, it is better to uso a second teapot, jjg, or large cup, <■ tuking care t<* cover closely, and pltice in Ilia oven till' fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It serins an easy thing to make a Cap of Uood Tka—and really is. b0,% j WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's. B.
