They usually had tea for luncheon or supper at Margaret's house, but
sometimes they had chocolate instead, so these things came next in the
cook-book.
Tea
1/2 teaspoonful of black tea for each person.
1/2 teaspoonful for the pot.
Boiling water.
Fill the kettle half-full of fresh, cold water, because you cannot make good
tea with water which has been once heated.
When it is very hot, fill the china teapot and put it where it will keep
warm.
When the water boils very hard, empty out the teapot, put in the tea, and
put on the boiling water; do not stand it on the stove, as too many people
do, but send it right to the table; it will be ready as soon as it is time
to pour it--about three minutes.
If you are making tea for only one person, you will need a teaspoonful of
tea, as you will see by the rule, and two small cups of water will be
enough. If for more, put in a half-teaspoonful for each person, and one cup
of water more.
