One of the simplest and time honored ways of using natural herbal remedies. An Infusion, which to most is another term for what we know today as herbal teas, is made by simply seeping fresh or dried herbs in hot water.There are 5 simple steps to making an infusion.
1)Choose a glass, enamel or porcelain teapot with a tight fitting lid. Pour in a little boiling water to warm the teapot and the empty.
2)Add 3 TBSP of chopped fresh herbs or 1 TBSP of dried herbs to the teapot.
3)Pour a pint of hot water (note: the water should not be boiling) into the teapot and cover with the lid. Leave for 5 – 10 minutes to infuse.
4)Strain some of the through a tea strainer or cheese cloth into a teacup.
5)Add honey to sweeten if desired.
The herbal infusion you just made should be sufficient enough for 3 separate doses and can be stored in a airtight container in a cool place for up to 48 hours.
