How to make an herbal infusion, step-by-step and what it's for

Most folks refer to any herb steeped in hot water as tea, but the name “tea” is technically only appropriate when referring to the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant—a botanical native to Asia. Preparations made from any other botanical are actually called tisanes. Simply put, your chamomile tea before bed is actually a tisane!

Tisanes typically steep for about five minutes, whereas infusions steep for approximately eight hours. This creates a vastly different end product.

Infusions are able to extract all water-soluble medicinal properties such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes, whereas tisanes are typically limited to releasing the aromatic properties of the plant. This means tisanes are more like flavored water — you just can’t extract much medicine in under five minutes.

Almost anyone can benefit from drinking herbal infusions regularly — they are that powerful.
