DIRECTION FOR MAKING DR. SOLANDER's TEA
Two or three tea-spoonfuls of this
Tea being put into a tea-pot, or a covered bason,
pour boiling water upon it, and let it remain a short
time in a state of infusion. After using
milk and sugar agreeably to the taste, drink it moderately
warm. A few tea-cups full are sufficient for
breakfast, tea in the afternoon, or any other time
a person may think proper.
The native and exotic Plants which chiefly
compose this Tea, being gathered and dried with
peculiar attention to the preserving their Sanative
Virtues, must render them far more efficacious than
many similar Preparations, which, by being reduced
to Powder, must have those qualities destroyed
they might otherwise possess.
A CAUTION.
The high estimation in which Dr. Solander’s
Tea is held, by the first circles of fashion, as a
general beverage the many cures it has
effected and the pleasantness of its flavor
having induced several unprincipled persons to prepare
and vend a base and spurious preparation under a similar
title; the Proprietor, in justice to the known efficacy
of this Tea, and to secure his property from further
depredations, has thought proper to have an engraved
copper-plate affixed to the canisters and packets
of the genuine and original preparation of Dr. Solander’s
Sanative English Tea. This plate being entered
at Stationer’s Hall as the Act directs, Aug 20, 1791, will subject such persons as imitate the
same to a consequent prosecution. The Public
are therefore cautioned from purchasing any article
but what is distinguished by the said plate, and to
observe thereon the words specified as above, of its
being entered according to Act of Parliament.
