Tea

Ingredients

• 3 teaspoons tea
• 2 cups boiling water

Instructions

Scald an earthen or china teapot. Put in tea, and pour on boiling water. Let stand on back of range or in a warm place five minutes. Strain and serve immediately, with or without sugar and milk. Avoid second steeping of leaves with addition of a few fresh ones. If this is done, so large an amount of tannin is extracted that various ills are apt to follow.

Five O'Clock Tea

When tea is made in dining or drawing room, a "Five o'Clock Teakettle" (Samovar), and tea-ball or teapot are used.
