AN IMPROVED PREPARATION OF TEA
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JOHN WILLIAM BROWN of 78 Blacker Road North, Birkby Huddersfield,
Yorkshire, Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED
PREPARATION OF TEA" to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new preparation of Tea composed of a mixture of Tea,
Sugar and Milk, which can be made for immediate use by adding hot or boiling
water.
In order to carry out my invention I brew a suitable quantity of Tea, and when
the strength or virtue in the leaves has been abstracted I strain off the liquid and
subject it to a process of condensation. I then take suitable quantities of condensed
milk and sugar mixed together, the quantities used varying according to the amount
of Tea brewed and condensed.
The three ingredients after undergoing the processes above described are all
mixed together, and when so nixed together form a paste, which may be placed.
into tins, jars, or other suitable receptacles and when a cup of Tea is required, a
very small quantity of the preparation can be placed into a cup, and hot or boiling
water afterwards placed therein.
By this means a cup of Tea can be quickly made without having to wait for the:
brewing of the Tea or without the separate use of milk or sugar, which is often a
source of inconvenience to those away from home or in refreshment rooms; in
addition to this the preparation can be made up in the same weights as Tea in leaf,
and sold at about a similar price.

page_text: I, JOHN WILLIAM BROWN of 78 Blacker Road, North Birkby Huddersfield,
Yorkshire Tailor do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED
PREPARATION OF TEA aud in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
My invention relates to a new preparation of Tea composed of a mixture of Tea,
Sugar and Milk which can be made for immediate use by adding hot or boiling
water.
In order to carry out my invention I brew in a suitable vessel say for example
one pound of Tea in leaf and when the strength or virtue has been abstracted
therefrom I strain off the liquid into another vessel and subject it to a process of
condensation.
I also mix together and condense in a separate vessel equal parts-say two
pounds of sugar and milk-the milk being preferably creamed before mixing with
the sugar.
When the above ingredients are sufficiently condensed in separato vessels they
are allowed to cool down to 72% Fabrenheit, when the condensed tea is mixed
with the condensed sugar and milk and the mixture allowed to stand still in an air
tight vessel for six hours after which it may be placed into tins, jars, or other
suitable receptacles and when a cup of tea is required a very small quantity of the
extract or preparation is placed into a cup and hot or boiling water afterwards
placed therein.
I find that this extract when made up will not keep long, but becomes bad and
unfit for use, but in order to prevent this I mix with the above ingredients and at
the same time as the tea is mixed with the sugar and milk-say five ounces or one
in sixteen of rectified spirits of wine which preserves the extract or preparation in
a sweet and palatable condition.
By this means a cup of tea can be quickly made without having to wait for the
brewing of the tea or without the separate use of milk or sugar, which is often a
source of inconvenience to those away from home or in refreshment rooms, in
addition to this the preparation can be made up in the same weights as tea in leaf
and sold at about a similar price.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;
The preparation of a compound of Tea composed of the ingredients mentioned
herein, and treated in the manner set forth.
Dated this 8th day of March 1886.
