When people speak contemptuously of tea it is usually, because they have never tasted it when it was brewed properly. In order to brew a cup of really good tea you must first and foremost have good tea and an earthenware or china tea-pot. Metal pots inevitably give a strange taste. You must proceed as follows: Warm the tea-pot with boiling water, put in the leaves (one teaspoonful ior every cup and one for the pot). Pour on freshly boiled, bubbling water, yet only enough to cover the leaves. Put on the lid tor a minute or so. Pour on more water, put on the lid again ana allow tne tea to draw for three minutes Serve a jug of freshly boiled water together with the extract, so that everyone may have his tea as weak or as strong as he likes it. Tea brewed in this way is a goodly beverage which nearly everybody will enjoy.
