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
