A GOOD CUP op 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. 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 ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infusion cf Tea, leaving none for Lhe last brewing, au., earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea b^ing poured out at last. Then the ■water must not-only have juet boiled, but bo in the very act of boiling.at the lime 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, th^Tea^ill 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 minutea before pouring ' out. Tbo teapot should be thoroughly dry and \v:irm before putting the !!■ a in. In roaring the boiling water on to tbG Ten it is best only to hall fill (he teapot, and in ten minutes to i»dd the remainder. By this process the heat is kept up. When the infusion has once been made it is useless to ndd any more Tea to that already in the teapot. "* I If more be required, it is belter to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely,, and 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 CJood Tka. —and really is so, WHEN 3TOU GET IT AT I McGOWAN'S. • 3/- Tea at McGowan's. /"I ROGERS' iirifi Bakers' Bag* and Wrat VX ping Paper* printed as c•■«»;.» rstea a the ETjroiWtt Sta is Office.
