A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most whole-' some is that made from black alone, and if one teaspoonfu.l of tea be allowed for each person besides an extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may be obtained. The Toa 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 the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a belter Tea being 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, the Tea will be weak and tastelese, 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 tbo- , roughly dry and warm before putting the Ti-a in. In Touring the boiling water on to tbe Ton'it is best only to half fill tho teapot, and in } ten minutes to add the remainder. By this proceea tlio heat is kept up. When the infusion hus 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 '■ ueo a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to coyer closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. ■' It seems an ensy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea—and really is so, WHEN TOT!
