Infusions

Herbal infusions (also known as herbal teas & or tisanes) can be made by infusing the aerial parts, including flowers, stems & leaves, in water.

If using dried herbs steep for 10 minutes in water that has just come to a boil. Use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs to every cup (8 oz) of water or 1 ounce of dried herbs for every pint. Strain infusion before consuming.
If using fresh herbs use 3 teaspoons of fresh herbs for every pint of just boiled water. Steep for 10 minutes then strain.
Infusions may be made in cup sized or larger teapot doses. If using infusion for its medical value, the infusion should be taken in 8 ounce doses 3 times a day.
