- It is impossible to give an exact recipe for making tea. It varies so in strength that one must be guided by that as to the quantity used. The common method of making green tea is to pour boiling water on the leaves and let them steep without boil- ing for five or ten minutes. The tea-pot should be well scalded and the tea sent to the table hot. Some think heating the tea- leaves in the teapot when dry and then pouring boiling water on is a superior way of making tea. It only needs to stand a mo- ment or two before using. Black tea, being coarser than green, a larger quantity is required, and it is better for boiling a few moments. This is as much improved by cream as coffee is. Keep your tea in tin, close, warm and dry.

CHOCOLATE.

Put four ounces of chocolate in a sauce-pan, with enough cold water to prevent burning. Let it simmer gently a few minutes. When it comes to a boil, add one quart of boiling milk and one gill of cream. Let it boil gently five minutes.
