MAKING GOOD TEA.
This sounds an easy demand. But is it ? How many times do you have to drink a cup of tea that is scarcely recognisable as such ? According to a well-kriown overseas firm who specialise in tea there is only one way of making it properly. This is the recipe: (1) Warm the teapot. (2) Use one teaspoonful of Lea for each person and ono for the pot (3) Fresh boiling water must be used and poured on the leaves without moving the kettle from the stove. (4) Allow to brew for not less than five minutes, and stir before serving. Perhaps the most important point is that the water should have just reached boiling point when poured into the pot.
