Directions
for
Use.--Dissolve
the
contents
of
blue
paper
in
half
a
tumbler
of
cold
water,
stir
in
the
other
powder,
and
drink
during
effervescence.
(See
par.
2291.)
2295.
Economy
of
Tea.
A
given
quantity
of
tea
is
similar
to
malt--only
imparting
strength
to
a
given
quantity
of
water,
therefore
any
additional
quantity
is
waste.
Two
small
teaspoonfuls
of
good
black
tea
and
one
three
parts
full
of
green,
is
sufficient
to
make
three
teacupfuls
agreeable,
the
water
being
put
in,
in
a
boiling
state,
at
once;
a
second
addition
of
water
gives
a
vapid
flavour
to
tea.
2296.
Preparing
Tea.
In
preparing
tea
a
good
economist
will
be
careful
to
have
the
best
water,
that
is,
the
softest
and
least
impregnated
with
foreign
mixture;
for
if
tea
be
infused
in
hard
and
in
soft
water,
the
latter
will
always
yield
the
greatest
quantity
of
the
tannin
matter,
and
will
strike
the
deepest
black
with
sulphate
of
iron
in
solution.
2297.
Tea-making.
Dr.
Kitchiner
recommends
that
all
the
water
necessary
should
be
poured
in
at
once,
as
the
second
drawing
is
bad.
When
much
tea
is
wanted,
it
is
better
to
have
two
tea-pots
instead
of
two
drawings.
2298.
Another
Method.
The
water
should
be
fresh
boiled,
not
exhausted
by
long
boiling.
Scald
the
teapot
and
empty
it;
then
put
in
as
much
water
as
necessary
for
the
first
cups;
put
the
tea
on
it
as
in
brewing,
and
close
the
lid
as
quickly
as
possible.
Let
it
stand
three
minutes
and
a
half,
or,
if
the
quantity
be
large,
four
minutes,
then
fill
the
cups.
This
is
greatly
superior
to
the
ordinary
method,
the
aroma
being
preserved
instead
of
escaping
with
the
steam,
as
it
does
when
the
water
is
poured
on
the
tea.
