BEVERAGES
THE making of tea depends upon the brand.
Always scald the pot just as you make
the tea. A general rule is : "One teaspoon-
ful for each person and one for the pot." Pour
on a little boiling water to wet the tea. A
minute or two later add a cup or two of boiling
water. Allow to stand and add what boiling
water is necessary for the amount of tea de-
sired. This develops the strength of the tea
and keeps it hot. Oeylon tea must not wait
more than five minutes, as after that it takes on
an unpleasant taste. Make a little, and often.
To make good coffee is the simplest and yet
one of the most important things that pertain
to cooking, but comparatively few know how to
do it. For a family of five or six, take i cup
good ground coffee and mix with it the white
of 1 egg and a little water ; put it in the coffee-
pot, and add to that about a pint of cold water.
When it comes to a boil, set it on the back of
the stove and add boiling water sufficient for
use. This, with cream and sugar, makes most
delicious coffee.
Remember in making coffee :
That the same flavor will not suit every taste,
but that every one may be suited to a nicety by
properly blending two or more kinds.
That equal parts of Mocha, Java and Rio
will be relished by a good many people.
That a mild coffee can be made dangerously
strong and still retain the mildness of flavor.
That the enjoyment of a beverage and slavish
devotion thereto are quite different things.

That the flavor is improved if the liquid is
turned from the dregs as soon as the proper
strength has been obtained.
That where the percolation method is used
the coffee should be ground very fine or the
strength will not be extracted.
That if the ground coffee is put into the water
and boiled, it should be rather coarse ; otherwise
it will invariably be muddy.
