Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholesome is that made from black alone, and if one toaspoonful of tea bo allowed for each person besides an extra ono for the teapot, an infusion of excellent strenglh may be obtained. The Toa should bo made in a bright metal teapot if possible, because bright substances retain the 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 hotter Tea being poured out at last. Then . the water must not only have just boiled, but be in the Tery act of boiling at the time it is poured over, tlie 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 minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before put-ting-the Toa 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 , use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in tho 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 Tba—and really is BO t WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAVS. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.
