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
