Infusions may be drunk hot - which is normally best for a medicinal herb tea - or cold, or have ice in them. They may be sweetened with licorice root, honey or brown sugar.
Herbal teabags can be made by filling little muslin bags with herbal mixtures, taking care to remember how many teaspoons have been put into each bag
1. Take a china or glass teapot which has been warmed and put teaspoon of the dried herb or herb mixture into it for each cup of tea that you intend to brew.
2. Pour a cup of boiling water in for each teaspoon of herb that is already in the pot and then put the lid on. Leave tosteep for 10-15 minutes.
