How to Make a Hot Infusion

 

Everyone knows how to make a basic cup of tea, right?! Sure, it is easy - but to make a really potent and medicinal version there are some important steps that shouldn’t be skipped!

If I have asked you to make a hot infusion of herbs follow these steps for best effect:

  1. Place 1-2 Tablespoons of dried herb (or teabag) in 8 oz of just boiled water.

  2. Use a plate or teacup cover to ensure that your tea is not losing vital medicine in the form of steam!

  3. Allow herbs to steep for 15-20 minutes

  4. Remove cover and enjoy!

  5. If making larger batches, strain and refrigerate unused portion for up to 5 days.
