A clean tea pot, stone or china, boiling fresh water and good quality of tea are essential in making a refreshing, wholesome drink. Use all green, all black or a mixture of the two, the latter is preferred.
Pour boiling water in pot, cover for a moment, pour out and put in tea, allowing one teaspoon to each cup, add to this the boiling water, let steep five minutes. Serve at once, or if needed for ice tea, pour off into a clean vessel to cool. When a large quantity is needed make strong and add fresh boiling water.
In making ice tea, sweeten while hot, add lemon juice and rind is good. Let stand until seasoned and strain. If two lemons are needed, squeeze out juice and mash rinds, put in boiling water. To one cup add one cup sugar and make syrup. Nice way to get lemon flavor and also eco- nomical when they are expensive.
