To get the utmost in flavour and.
quality from tea is an art, but it is
an art in which anyone can produce;
a masterpiece by following these sim
ple directions:
Run the ‘cold’ tap a few seconds
before filling your kettle (never use
stale water or water from the ‘hot*
tap). See that the water is boiling
furiously and not just steaming*
Scald out a crockery tea-pot, measure
in to it a teaspoonful of good quality
tea for each person and one for the
pot, add the boiling water and steep
for five minutes before serving.
Nothing else soothes our tired bod
ies or gives us the same comfort and
pleasure that we get from a good cujf
of tea. Surely it is worth our while
to make it carefully.
