Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea, A GOOD CTTP 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 teaepoonful-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 >r inado m a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than rough ones ; a metal teapot extracts nil 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 et 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 minutes before pouring, out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before pat- ' ting the Tea in. In touring tbe boiling Water on to tbe Ten it is best only (o half-.fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process t'.ie 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 bo required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in tbe oven till fully infueed, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea—and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT ; McGOWife 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
