TEA.

Scald an earthen or china teapot. Use a teaspoonful of tea for each
person and one for the pot. Put into the pot and pour in freshly boiled
water, a cupful to each spoonful of tea. _Never boil tea_, but let it
stand in a warm place a few minutes before serving. Serve with or
without milk and sugar.

Tea and coffee, like all stimulants, should be used only in moderation.
The use of either by children or dyspeptics is not to be recommended.
Pure water is the best drink ordinarily for everybody. Most people
prefer cold water, as it is not so insipid as boiled, but a cup of hot
water taken in the morning on arising and one at night just before
retiring will prove of benefit to sufferers from dyspepsia or
indigestion.

Iced Tea

Put in a deep pitcher one teaspoonful of dry tea for each person
and two over.  Pour on a cup of boiling water for each person,
and cover the pitcher and let it stand five minutes.  Then stir
well, strain and pour while still hot on large pieces of ice.
Put in a glass pitcher and serve a bowl of cracked ice, a lemon,
sliced thin, and a bowl of powdered sugar with it.  Pour it into
glasses instead of cups.
