. 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 wholesomo is that made from black alone, - and if one teaspooinful of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra ono^for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may bo obtained. The Tea Bhould bo made in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the beat longer than rough . ones ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, learing none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapot' being .slower in its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea b. ing 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 tbe 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 putting the Tea 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 tlie 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 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, tben it may be added to that ulready in the teapot. 1% seems an easy thing to make a . Cup of UOOD Tea—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGQ WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
