Herbal Infusions

Infusions

Infusions are often referred to as herbal teas, and are ideal for soft parts of plants, such as leaves, flowers, seeds and soft stems. They are made by placing an appropriate quantity of dried herbs in boiling water, and allowing to stand for 30 minutes or more while stirring occasionally. The quantity of water should be at least 20 times the quantity of dried herbs by weight. Infusions may be consumed warm, or allowed to cool before drinking. It is often worthwhile making enough to last the entire day, and drinking appropriate proportions throughout the day. Infusions need to be made fresh daily, as they will not keep long.
