Tea

(To

Make).

Dr.

Kitchener.

All

the

necessary

water

should

be

poured

in

at

once,

as

it

spoils

it

to

have

a

second

drawing.

Tea

(To

Make).

Another

Way.

The

water

should

be

fresh

boiled.

Scald

the

tea-pot

and

empty

it

;

then

put

in

as

much

water

as

necessary

for

the

first

cups.

Put

the

tea

on

it,

and

close

the

lid

as

quickly

as

possible.

Let

it

stand

three

minutes

and

a

half,

or

if

the

quantity

be

large,

four

minutes.

Then

fill

the

cups.

By

this

means

the

aroma

is

preserved

instead

of

escaping

with

the

steam,

as

it

does

when

the

water

is

poured

on

the

tea.

Tea

(To

Make).

Another

Way.

Always

heat

the

tea-pot

before

putting

in

the

tea

by

standing

it

over

hot

water.

A

teaspoonful

of

tea

for

each

person

and

one

over

is

the

usual

allowance,

and

then

make

sure

the

water

boils,

and

the

moment

it

boils

pour

it

over

the

tea,

and

then

let

it

stand

for

six

minutes

(neither

more

nor

less)

to

draw.

Tea

(To

Make).

Debuisson.

Put

the

tea

into

a

kettle

with

cold

water,

cover

it

close,

set

it

on

the

fire,

and

make

it

very

nearly,

but

not

quite,

boil

;

then

take

it

from

the

fire

;

when

the

leaves

sink

it

is

ready.
