Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA ia really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black fflen, others a - mixture of green. The moßt wholeeoine is that made from black alone, and if one teaspnonful of tea bo 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 ; p. 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 veryact 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 twenty minutes before :ppuring out. The teapot should be tboTpughly 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 ia ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process tbe 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 belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to coyer cloaely, and r place in the oven till fully infused, .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 McGO WAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's. J.E.HAN SEN'S ADVERTISEMENT.
