Di1utinE Tea.

Few housekeepers remember, as they
should, that when it is necessary to
dilute strong tea it should be done with
water at the boiling point. The poor
flavor Of tea, made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed at receptions and "at homes,'' is
usually caused by the addition Of hot,
not boiling, water to the first infusion.
A lesson in this matter may be had
from the Russians, who serve the most
delicious tea in the world, and who pre-
pare it first very strong, making it al
most an essence of tea. This is diluted
to the strength wished, with water
kept boiling in the samovar. This
water is not allowed to boil and reboil,
but is renewed as needed. Freshly
boiled water is insisted upon by all
cOnnOisseurs in teamaking.
