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
