when they make Tea, pour all the firft Li- 
quor out of the Pot, before they pour on 
more, which is a very bad way 3 for thus all 
the delicate Flavour of the Leaf goes off in 
the firft Pot, and what follows has the 
Roughnefs without the Flavour : But it 
were better to pour out a little Tea into each 
Cup (where there is a Company) then fill 
up the Pot with Water, and fill up the 
Difhes 3 never pour out above half the Li- 
quor in the Pot till it is fill’d again 3 fo fome

the whole Tea to be drank equally fine and 
pleafant tafted, is to put the Tea into a 
large Pot at firft, fill it up with Water when 
it has flood a little 3 fill every Cup a third

them up out of th e, Tea-Kettle of Water 3 
thus will the laft Cup of the Tea have the 
fame Flavour with the firft, only rougher
