AG OO D CUP of TE A is reully 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 cxl ra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may be obtained. The Tea should be m»de in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the hei»t longer than rough ones ; a metal (eapot extracts all the strength in tho first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an earthenwi\rc teapot being slowerJn its uction upon tho herb admits of a better Tea b^ing poured out at last. Then the water must not only l:»ve just boiled, but be in the very net 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, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, nnd it ehould stand from fifteen to twenty minutca before pouring out. The teapot should be ..thoroughly dry and warm before putling the Tia in. In rouring the boiling water on to the To.i it is beat only to half fill the teapot, and iv ten minutes to »dd the remainder. By this procces fc'-c heat is kept up. When tho infusion hns onco been * made it is useless to add any more Tea to that already in tho teapot. If more be required, it ia belter to % use a second tenjot, jug, or largo cup, taking care to cover closely, and ' place in the oron till full^j&tfuscd, • | then it may be udded to that already in the teapot. Ife 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 MeG owan's. - ROGERS 1 and Bokera' Bags and Wrat \y! ping Papers panted ■ at ohoixp rutes £ the Vybsivh Stab Office.
