Commonly Asked Questions
What herbs are good to infuse in tea?
Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) with its delicate clove-like flavour and lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) known for its wonderful lemon flavour are both excellent choices for tea infusions. These herbs can be served hot or cold, providing a refreshing drink or tonic.
What does herbal infusion tea do?
Herbal infusion teas can help reduce chronic diseases. They contain flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols, which have been shown to widen arteries, lower blood pressure, prevent blood clots, and reduce cholesterol levels.
Use 1 to 3 tablespoons of dried herbs in a tea strainer. Place it in a teapot or mug, then pour boiling water over it to submerge. Cover the container and let the herbs steep for 15 minutes to an hour before straining.
How long do tea infusions last?
Herbal infusions should be strained after no more than 12 hours to avoid a disagreeable taste. Once strained, the infusion should be consumed within 36 hours.
