Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea." AGOOD CUPojTEAw really a eoientific 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 extra one for the teapot, an in- ... fusion of excellent strength may be obtained. The Tea Bhould 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 ■ better Tea being poured out at last. Then, the water must not only hnve just boiled, bul 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 stand from fifteen to twenty minutbe before pouring out. The teapot'should be thoroughly dry and warm before patting the Tra in. In \ ouring the boiling water on to the Te;i it is best | only to half fill the teapot, and in ten minutes to add the remainder. ■ -, - By this process th« heat is kept up. y . v , ■■;,*-When the illusion has oncei beei|jjjv made it is useless, to add any. more Tea to that already in the teapot. If more be required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and pluce in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy tiling to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, " WHEN rOU tffiT IT AT .. McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan'sl MEARS & CO, Grocers, Tea Dealer, &0., Pollen Stbeet, Thames.
