HOW TO MAKE TEA.
Every housewife is satisfied that her own way of making tea is the best, but she is generally interested in hearing about some one else's. Here are instructions on the subject from the " Grocer," which certainly ought to be well informed on the point:— First put the desired quantity of tea (onejspoonful for each person and one for the pot) into a small muslin bag, which drop into the teapot, after! thoroughly warming and drying the latter; then pour sufficient boiling water into the pot. and let it stand about five minutes ; after which, extract the muslin bag containing the tea leaves, and then the tea may be poured out, and drunk with real satisfaction. The advantages of this system are that the second and third cup will be found equal to the first; that the tannin and other properties of the tea not considered beneficial are left in the muslin bag ; aud that the consumer gets a beverage which in this case may be described with perfect truth as •• cheering but not inebriating."
