  1. (continued from previous page)
    always they used put their hand up and take down a big fist of it, then they used get a pot of boiling water and throw the fist of tea into it. They used leave it drawing for a half an hour. When it used be drawn they used get a timber jug and fill it with tea, then they used throw a drop of milk in it but no sugar. A pot of it used to do them for a week.
