The "Gladstone " Beauty Cup.
Mr Gladstone had a beverage which he took each night of his life, so long as he had health, and it 16 the cup which keeps many a society beauty going. It is simply tea, but tea made without the nerve-de-stroying attributes. You take half a small coffee spoon of tea and you scatter it in the bottom of a very large cup. Over this you pour as much- boiling, bubbling water as the cup will hold. The saucer is placed on the top of the cup in Chinese fashion, and over all a tea cosy is thrown. After five minutes take three very thin slices of lemon and lay them in a big hot cup. On top of the slices of lemon you may, if you like, place a cherry-brandy cherry, and then on top of all you pour in the tea through a strainer. The result will be a fine, weak, hot, but healthful cup of tea with just the right flavour of lemon. You can have sugar if you want it, and Gladstone's rule of three big lumps will do you no harm, for su/gar is a great energiser.
