Htthe, Agent, Albert street Grocery / How to Make a Good Cup of TeaAGOQD CUP OFTEAis really a eoientifio preparation. Some prefer sill black Tea, others a ' mixture of green. The most wholesome is that made from black alone; and if one teaspoonfnl of tea be - allowed for. each, "person besides ; an extra one for the teapot, an in- * fusion of excellent strength may bo 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 the last brewing, anearthenware teapot being slower in . its action upon the herb admits of a : , better Tea being poured but 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 tasteless, for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, and it should stsind from fifteen to* twenty minutes before pouring out. : The teapot should be thoroughly dry : and warm before, putting the Tea in. In touring the. boiling water on to the Tea it is best, only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes, to add the remainder.. By this process the 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 better to ■, *" ÜBe 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 easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea—and really is so, WHEN XW GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's. i 1 ROGERS'and Bakers' Bags and Wrat \J ping' Papers printed oheap ratet a the ErmriKa Stib Office.
