HOW TO MAKE TEA
Scald your teapot with boiling water. Put in it a spoonful of tea with a large
spoonful of hot water. Let it stand one moment. Add a cupful of boiling water.
Let it stand. Add another cupful to suit the taste. By this system you extract
the best aroma out of tea. Of course your water must be boiling. Put a little
hot water in your cups to warm them.
COLD TEA
Make your tea early in the afternoon, and pour it from one vessel to another,
shaking violently until it pains your arm. Then pour it into the pitcher from
which you wish to serve it, and let it stand on the ice, or in the refrigerator,
until you want it. Crack your ice fine, and put a small quantity in each
tumbler. Then pour in the tea, already sweetened, and add slices of lemon to
taste.--MRS. PHILLIPS, of Washington, D.C.
HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE
Take a French dripper, or French coffee-pot. Wash it in hot water. It must be
perfectly pure and clean. Put in it two or three tablespoonfuls of Java and
Mocha mixed. Pour over it a quarter of a cupful of tepid water, just to soak the
coffee. Let it stand a few moments, then pour on it a cupful of boiling water,
and let it drip five minutes more. Then add another cupful of hot water. Test
the coffee. If it is too weak, pour the whole thing over the top again. If it is
too strong, add more hot water. Rinse your cups in hot water before using them.
