ICED TEA

(Six or eight Persons) Very few people know how to make iced tea. The following is the best recipe out of several the authors have tried. Fill a large glassjug with small pieces of ice. Put on top of the ice a lemon cut into slices(not the ends), and six heaping spoonfuls of castor or granulated sugar. Pour over a quart of freshly made, very hot tea. The boiling water must not be allowed to stand more than three minutes on the tea. Allow for each person a heaping tea- spoonful of China or the best Ceylon tea leaves. If desired, the iced tea can be made in individual tall glasses. In this case fill each glass with pieces of ice, put on top a thitkish slice of lemon and a puddingspoonful of sugar before pouring in the tea. Allow a breakfast cup of good strong coffee to each person. Let it cool, sweeten to taste and shake well with finely chipped or shaved ice. Put a spoonful of whipped cream on the top of each glass. Serve before the ice has melted. GRANITA DI GAFFE (Iced Coffee)
