■ Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP op TEA is really 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 extra one for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strength may be 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, 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 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 j Tea, and it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring : outi The teapot should ba thoroughly dry and warm before patting the Tea in. 1 In touring the boiling water on to the Ten 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 use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closelyj and place in the oven'till fully infused, then it may be added to that already in the teapot. i It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good TEA-^and really is so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. . 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
