Hot- Tea Preparation

For loose tea infusions:

  • use a tea pot or strainer to strain the herbs.
  • Boil water and pour it over the herbs. Let steep as little as 5 minutes, up to 1 hours (if it is having roots), depending on desire for therapeutic benefits, and the plants you’re working with.
  • use 2 x heaping tablespoon of herb to 500ml of hot water for teapot
  • Use 1 levelled teaspoon of herb to 250ml of hot water for teacup
  • For a more therapeutic quality consider steeping for 30 minutes to 4 hours for leaves, and overnight for roots and barks.

For Teabag infusions:

  • Boil water and pour over teabag.
  • Let steep as little as 5 minutes, for more therapeutic quality steep for up to 1 hours (if it is having roots)
