toast, Mary? 69 ' ' When you make toast, make toast." Toast, golden brown all over, dry all through, and burned no place. We will keep this hot in the oven while we make tea. These dry leaves came from In- dia, far over the ocean. Some tea comes from Japan and China also. We pour boiling hot water over these leaves to get the flavor, and then pour it off and drink the water. We throw away the leaves — they are not good to make any more tea with. There are two kinds of tea, black and green. Black tea is much better because there is not so much tannin in it. We want to get the flavor out of the leaves but we want to leave the tannin in the leaves and throw it away. Tannin is lazy and does not come out of the leaves quickly when we pour the boiling water on, but the flavor does come out quickly. When one side of the bread is toasted, what shall we do? Which side will take longer to toast, be- fore or after turning? How much longer? We must use water just as soon as it begins to boil, because the tea will not taste so good if made from water that has been boiling some time. If little girls drink tea it will make their skin yellow, so tea is only good for grown-up people. It is the tannin in the tea which makes the skin yellow, and is not good for the health. There are two kinds of tea, or tea made in two ways. Get your tablespoons and I will put into them some tea for you to drink. Hold the spoon over your pan or over your hand so that none of it will drip on the floor. Tell the dif- ference in the taste. Yes, tannin is bitter and we must not have it in the tea. Demonstrate the correct method of making tea, and then make some tea by boiling it. Sweeten both of these and allow the children to taste the good tea first. Now let us see how we do this. Fresh water from the faucet goes on to boil. As soon as it boils, scald out the teapot of eathern- ware or china, but never tin. Put the tea into the teapot. Use three rounded teaspoons of dry leaves for a family of six. Pour the boil- ing water into this. Pour off all Demonstrate, 70 the tea at once. Throw out the leaves. 'They are not good after the first using. Or, to make one cup of tea, use Serve tea to guests, but pupils a little strainer with one-half tea- eat toast with marmalade or jelly, spoon of tea in it, and pour the boiling water through it until the cup is nearly full. You may make a cup of tea and serve it to the guests. Put two lumps of sugar and a teaspoon on each saucer. Get a plate from the table, a little pat of butter, and a teaspoonful of orange marmalade
