TISANES or HERB TEAS 
With the increasing scarcity of China Tea, why not adopt the custom so 
prevalent over much of Europe, that of drinking some of the various herb 
teas. You will particularly enjoy the distinctive flavors of Peppermint, or 
Peppermint and Lemon Verbena, Lemon Balm, Linden Blossom (Tilleul), 
Sage, Chamomile or Spearmint. Most of these will make good iced tea also. 
Besides being a good beverage, most of them are mildly soothing to the 
spirit;—and who does not need a bit of that in this trouble-torn world? 
Herb ‘Teas in general are made by pouring boiling water over the herb, 
(about one teaspoonful to each cup of water), allow to steep about ten minutes, 
strain. Serve plain or with lemon or honey. Milk and cream usually are taboo. 
A porcelain container, and not metal, is used as in making other teas.
