How to make a good cup of tea

A herbal tea can be made from fresh or dried botanic material – be that leaves, flowers, seeds, or roots and is made by pouring boiling water over the material and letting it steep for a few minutes. This is called an infusion.

The material can be mashed to extract the compounds and oils. Quantities of the herb required to make a cup of tea is usually between 1 – 2 teaspoons. Please look at the information leaflets inside every box for more specific information.
