I teaspoon tea 1 cup boiling water

Scald an earthenware or china teapot. Put in tea and pour over it boiling water. Let it stand on back of range or in warm place 3 minutes. Strain and serve immediately, either with or without sugar and cream. Avoid second steeping of tea leaves. If this is done so large an amount of tannin is extracted that ill results may follow.

Russian Tea

Follow recipe for making tea. Russian tea may be served either hot or cold, but always without milk. A thin slice of lemon is allowed for each cup. Sugar is added according to taste. As in Russia, a preserved strawberry may be allowed each cup, or candied cherries may be used, or a clove added.

Iced Tea

4 teaspoons tea 2 cups boiling water

Follow recipe for making tea, strain into glasses 1/3 full of cracked ice. Sweeten to taste. The flavor is much finer by chilling the infusion quickly.
