How to Prepare your Tea

There are many ways to prepare your tea. The simplest way to make tea with herbs that contain flowers and leaves are by infusion. When infusing herbs, herbs are steeped in water to extract the plant’s active ingredients. When using roots and barks, a decoction is best, in which the herbs are cooked in water up to an hour, to fully extract the active constituents from the herbs.
