There is nothing easier than to make tea well-except to make it badly. So here are some hints on how to make the best of it.
BUYING TEA. Tea is the cheapest and most economical drink in the world. From ons pound of good tea you can brew as many na 210 cups. And it pays in the long run to buy good tes because it is more economical to use, and the difference between the cost of one cup of poor tea But there is all the and one cup of good tea is so infinitesimally small as not to matter. difference in the flavour and it is the flavour that is really the luxury that everyone can now afford
STORE TEA IN AN AIR-TIGHT CONTAINER. Tea loses its flavour if it is exposed It ought to be kept in a sadly, or in a to the air for long, especially in 3 moist climate. glass jar with a screw top, or in clean tin.

MEASURE THE QUANTITY OF TEA CAREFULLY. "One-teaspoon. ful per person and one for the pot" is a sound old-fashioned rule" that has never been beaten. But if good tea is need there is no need the allow one for the pot, unless very strong tea is wanted, for good - teu is more economical than cheap tea,
USE ONLY FRESHLY BOILED WATER. Take care to warm the pot thoroughly before putting in the tes. Then pour on freshly boiled water-not water that has been "allowed to simmer, Better tea will be made it the kettle is kept free from the lime or chalk deposits of bard water.
ALLOW FOUR MINUTES FOR INFUSION. Pour freehly boiled water on to the leaves until the tea pot is full, but don't pour out, the tea into pups until you have allowed it to stand for at least four minutes. The lid, of course, should be put back as soon as the water is poured into the pot, and then the whole should be covered with a coay.
