How to make a good cup of tea

Tea made from botanic material (leaves, seeds, flowers etc.) is called herbal tea. This can be divided into infusions (tisanes) and decoctions.

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 seeds and roots normally require the mixture to be boiled to release the ingredients. The tea “infusion or tisane” is then strained, sweetened with honey if so desired, and served.

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.

INFUSION/TISANE: Leaves, flowers, or powders. Take the required quantity of herbs and place in one cup of boiled water. Steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Strain and drink hot or cold.

DECOCTION: Root, seeds, or barks. Take the required quantity of herbs and place in 500ml of water. Bring to the boil on the stove and remove from heat. Let it steep for 15 - 20 minutes. Strain and drink hot or cold.

MIXTURES OF VARIOUS HERBS: If a mixture of two or more herbs has been made, use a teaspoon of the mixture when making your tea.
