Take one-half teaspoonful of tea to one cup of boiling water. Put the tea in the pot, pour the boiling water upon it and let stand where it will keep hot for five minutes. Then serve. Tea should never be boiled for it makes it bitter.
ICED TEA
Use one scant teaspoonful of tea to one cup of boiling water. Pour boiling water over tea leaves and let stand until milk warm. Then strain and sweeten to taste while tea is still warm, as it requires less sugar. Serve with crushed ice, green mint leaves, and sliced lemon and orange.
