Iced Coffee

Prepare a strong coffee. Fill tumblers half full of cracked ice and add to it the coffee. Add sugar and whipped cream to taste. TEA Freshly boiled water should always be used in making tea. This is important because water below the boiling point does not develop the full flavor of this beverage. Scald an earthenware teapot, put tea in, allowing 1 teaspoon of tea to each cup of freshly boiling water; pour over it the boiling water; cover closely; let stand for three to five minutes without boiling; pour at once. It is advisable to strain tea from grounds. A tea-ball may be used, and allow the same proportion of tea to water. Place tea-ball in cup, and pour over it freshly boiling water. Remove tea-ball in a minute or more, according to strength desired.
