Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP ov TEA iB ' really a soientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of gr«en. The most wholesome is that made from black alone, -and if one teaspbonful 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 j 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 a£ last. .Then the water must not only have just boiled, but be ih the very v act of boiling at th« 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 ihe . Tea, and it should stand from fifteen .. . to twenty minutes before pouring out. ? The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before put- . • ting the Tea in. In-touring the ... boiling water on to tbe Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and ia ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process the heat is kept ap. When the 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 .''.■ pluce in the oven till: fully infused, " : then it maybeadded to that already . in the teapot. ■; ': V It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good T«a—-and really is "so; .
