Hox to MAKE Tea.

More than half the Tea consumed in the.
United States and Canada is of japanese
growth, yet, the majority OF Americans ap-
parently do not understand how to prepare
it SO as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The Japanese Govern
ment has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational work.
and it is hoped that American ladies will
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making Japanese Tea, the transla-
tion OF which is as follows:
FirstEUse a small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second.-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third.-When using Japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled wa
ter, and let stand with closed lid from 2
to 3 minutes. Never boil the leaves. In
order to retain the natural flavor, Japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar free from moisture.
Notc-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese Teas.
neither sugar nor cream should be used.
