How to prepare herbs
Medicinal herb tea is normally drunk hot to make it more palatable and even comforting. Herbal teas or brews may be sweetened with honey or brown sugar if necessary.

INFUSION: Add one teaspoon of dried herb or herb mixture per cup of tea into a teapot or tea infuser.

Pour a cup of boiling water in for each teaspoonful of herb. Cover and leave to steep for 10 minutes.

DECOCTION: Add one teaspoonful of dried herb for each cup of water into a pot or saucepan (never use aluminum).

Add appropriate amount of water to pan. Bring to boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. If the herb is aromatic (contains volatile oils) put a lid on the pan. Strain and drink.
