Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP ot 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 teaspponful of tea be allowed for each person besides" an extra one for the teapot, aa in-, fusion of excellent strength may bo obtained. The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer thnn 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 «ff 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 pouring 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 bus 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 place in the ov,en till fully infused, then it may b*e added to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of tiooD Tba—and really is so, * WHEN 3TOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
