TO MAKE A CUP OF TEA.
There's Only On? Right Way, Says a
Scientist, $nd Here It Is.
There is only one way to make
tea that is fit to drink, no matter
whether the leaf used be from India,
China or Japan or whether it
be black, green, oolong or mixed.
A writer in an English scientific
magazine describes it exactly as follows:
"The tea drunk should be an infusion
in the proper sense of the
word, and the leaves should be
neither stewed nor boiled, as so often
happens. The character of the
water is very important for a really
delicious brew. The Chinese say
that the best water for making tea
with is that from a running stream,
and the worst is well water. This
means that the water should be well
o oro tnrl li lrr? lliof "f-rrvm o mnnmor
aui a uag tuu v uviu u *. uiiumg
stream. If the water is boiled for a
long time all the dissolved gases are
driven off and the water is made
flat, like the well water which the
Chinese condemn. Therefore the
water used should be just freshly
come to the boil. If the water used
be flat to begin with it should first
be poured backward and forward
into a jug from a height in a thin
stream, for so it picks up some of
the air on its way.
'The water should not be too
hard, and if only hard water is obtainable
a pinch of baking soda may
be added to the teapot.
"Tea tasters employ a smaller
proportion of tea than is indicated
by the ordinary domestic rule. (This j
rule is a teaspoonful of the leaves ?
for each cup and an extra one for 2
the pot). Of course the teapot <:
should be thoroughly heated as a \
preliminary to making the infusion, i
for otherwise the water poured into ]
it is lowered below boiling point, j
and it is only at boiling point that ;
some of the volatile constitutents I
of the leaf, to which the beverage s
owes its aroma, can be properly ex- \
tracted.
"The infusion should not last .]
longer than four minutes. After ?
this too much tannic acid is extracted,
as well as bitter substances )
which we are better without. Also, 1
if the infusion be prolonged, it i
drives away the delicious volatile oil t
to which much of the fragrance of
properly made tea is due. After
infusion the fluid should be poured :
into another hot teapot. No second
brew should ever be made, for a
single infusion is enough to remove
from the leaves everything that is
worth having.
"Tea thus made is delicious. By 1
means of its water, its heat and its
caffeine?pure stimulants all three
?it is refreshing. It cannot injure
digestion, and it may be questioned 1
i n xl f 1? ? - I
wnetner inere is any necessity to
forbid its use by any one but the
victim of insomnia."
