How to
Steep Herbs - Generally,
it is best not to boil the herbs. Bring water to a
boil and remove it from the heat, then add the herbs to
water for steeping. Stir and cover. It is best,
when possible, not to use a tea ball. Allowing the
herbs to circulate freely in the water maximizes the potency
of the water infusion. Strain out the herbs after
steeping
