How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP 0* 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 teaspoonful 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 ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for tbe last brewing, an ' earthenware teapot being slower in | its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea bsing 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 off the boil one half minute, tho 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 T«-a in. In touring the boiling water on to tbe Tea it ia best only to liulf fill the teapot, mid in ten minutes to odd the remainder. By this process t'.ic heat is kept up. When the iufusion has ouce been mado it is useless to ndd any more Tea to that already in the teapot. If more bo required, it is better to use a second tenpot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and pluco in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in tbe teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, WHEN rOU GET IT AT .
