One heaping tea-spoonful of green tea is sufficient for two cups. The water for making it should be boiled quickly. The tea-pot should be scalded well with the boiling water, and a cup- ful of the water poured upon the tea, and set near the fire to draw. In five or ten minutes, pour on another cupful of water. This tea will be very strong ; persons liking it weaker can easily add more boiling water. Black tea should be boiled, and more of it used than in the case of green tea, which should never be allowed to boil. A mixture of black and green tea is most pleasant to the taste.
