Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea/ AGOOD CUP ofTEAh 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 teaspnonful 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; & metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an . earthenware teapot being Blower in its action upon, the herb admits of a better Tea being poured out at last. Then the. water must not only . , haye just boiled, but be in the yery 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 twentv 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, J and place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It Beems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba —and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's. J.E. HAN SEN'S 1 ADVERTISEMENT.
