CONSIDERATIONS ON THE RECENT
OFFENSIVE IN FLANDERS

==,..",

mIstress

Look to the Tea leaves' Nearly
one third of the Tea consumed IS
wasted It IS eIther carelessly made
(the water not bo!lmg) , or as much
thrown a way- remamIDg 10 the pot
-as the whole household has used
Nahonal resources must not be
wasted thus I
When Tea IS made properly not
a smgle leaf IS wasted
Proper
brewmg extracts every atom of
comfort from the Tea you use but
the Tea must be rIght to start with
- the kmd of Tea that enables you
to extract comfort and sahsfacllon
from It You cannot brew a goo d
cup from a poor Tea
Ir a good Tea IS bought --;:;- falf
price must be paId Then there IS
no need to put 10 the extra spoonful ' for the pot' If the 1ea IS
good enougb, you can do WIth a
spoonful less but you must brew
your Tea properly See that the
water IS at bOlhng pomt
Let It
stand long enough On the leaves
Stll' before pOUrIng off, and do not
throwaway the leaves untd they
are exhausted good Tea w!ll make
second breW- WIth fresh boilmg
