Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 February 1916 — Keep Teapot Dry. [ARTICLE]
Keep Teapot Dry.
When putting away a teapot which will not be used for some time wash and dry it as thoroughly as possible, and then drop into it a lump of sugar. This will absorb any dampness that may be left and so prevent the musty taste which is often noticed in tea made in a pot which has been left unused for some time.
