BEVERAGES THE making of tea depends upon the brand. Always scald the pot just as you make the tea. A general rule is : "One teaspoon- ful for each person and one for the pot." Pour on a little boiling water to wet the tea. A minute or two later add a cup or two of boiling water. Allow to stand and add what boiling water is necessary for the amount of tea de- sired. This develops the strength of the tea and keeps it hot. Oeylon tea must not wait more than five minutes, as after that it takes on an unpleasant taste. Make a little, and often. To make good coffee is the simplest and yet one of the most important things that pertain to cooking, but comparatively few know how to do it. For a family of five or six, take i cup good ground coffee and mix with it the white of 1 egg and a little water ; put it in the coffee- pot, and add to that about a pint of cold water. When it comes to a boil, set it on the back of the stove and add boiling water sufficient for use. This, with cream and sugar, makes most delicious coffee. Remember in making coffee : That the same flavor will not suit every taste, but that every one may be suited to a nicety by properly blending two or more kinds. That equal parts of Mocha, Java and Rio will be relished by a good many people. That a mild coffee can be made dangerously strong and still retain the mildness of flavor. That the enjoyment of a beverage and slavish devotion thereto are quite different things. 255 256 . White Ribbon Cook Book. That the flavor is improved if the liquid is turned from the dregs as soon as the proper strength has been obtained. That where the percolation method is used the coffee should be ground very fine or the strength will not be extracted. That if the ground coffee is put into the water and boiled, it should be rather coarse ; otherwise it will invariably be muddy.
