A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture'of green. . TheTnost wholesome is that madeirpm'black alone, and if one teaspponful of tea bo allowed for each person besides an extra one {or the teapot, an in- - fusion of excellent strength may . ' be obtained. The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if : possible, because bright substances retain |he heat longer than rough 'ones ; & 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 better Tea being.poured out ah last. ! Then the water muafc not only ■ -have just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at tho 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 Bhould be thoroughly dry and warm before put-. v ting the Tea in. In rouring 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 t\ie heat; is kept up; When the infusion has once been made it is useless to add any,.,more Tea to that already in tho teapot. If more be required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking cara to cover closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, . then it may bo added to that already in the teapot. . It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tea —and really is so, WHEN YOU GET A AT .-McGOWAN'S. \ .'- --- Tea at McGowan's. / > ROGERS' and Bakers' Bags and Wrat V!a ping Papers printed cheap rates ft the EvßNliro Stab, Office.
