This tannin, fortunately, will not dissolve in water except by prolonged boiling or Steeping; so that if tea is made by pouring boiling water over the tea leaves and pouring it off again as soon as it has reached the desired strength and flavor, and coffee by being just brought to a boil and then not allowed to stand more than ten or fifteen minutes before use, no injurious amounts of tannin will be found in them.

This was done by wrapping old cloths about the wood and Steeping it in hot water.

The coming of night is a time of vague veilings, of grotesque transformations, of remoulding and Steeping in new dyes.
