Iced Tea and Coffee.

The secret of delicous summer beverages is their iciness, writes Florence Wilson in an article on “Summer Beverages” in the June Ladies' Pome Journal. They may be uuwholesome in they- frigidity, but in this way only their “true virtue lies." Iced tea and coffee are probably the least injurious of summer drinks. To prepare the former pour a cup of freshly-boiled and boiling water over three teaspoonfuls of tea, set to steep, when add one quart of freshly-boiled water. Five minutes l»ter strain into an earthen ]ug, and when cool —not lukewarm—add one or two large pieces of ice. Serve with a large quantity of finely chopped ice, granulated sugar and thin slices of lemon. If iced coffee bo desired make a fresh pot of very strong coffee, and when cold serve with large quantities of ice and sugar; cream is but seldom used.
