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.


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.
