Grocery 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 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, lea Ting none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea being poured but at last. Then the water must not only t hare 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 mfnutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly'dryf: and warm before pat- ' > ting the Ueft in. In rouring the boiling water on to the Tea it is best only to - half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the'remainder. By this process the heat is kept up. When the infusion hag once been <! made it is useless to add any more I Tea to that . already in the teapot. , r If more be required, it is better to :, use a second tenpot, jug) or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and . place in the oven fill fully infuied, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It aeems an eflsj thing to make a Cup of Good Tba.—and really is bo, WHEN YOU GET IT AT Mc^OWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
