Musty Teapots
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you can help me? I have a very nice silver teapot, and also a pewter one, but unfortunately the tea made in either tastes fusty. It has a very nasty taste. Do you know of anythine T can: do to nrevent this?

Yes. Try rubbing the inside thoroughly with half a lemon dipped in salt. Keep cutting the lemon as it gets soiled, and re-dipping in salt. If no lemon, use a cloth dipped in vinegar. When the pot is clean leave a little dry tea in it when not in use. This helps to keep it sweet and fresh.
