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
