Prepare Herbal Infusion

For herbal infusion, there are various ingredients we can use,  either roots, bark, branch, fruit, leaf or flowers.

We can prepare the herbal infusion in two methods:

Cooking Method: 

  • This method fits best with the herbal infusion based on roots, bark, branch and fruits
  • Teapot selection can be glass, ceramic or porcelain tea pot
  • Teacup selection can be glass or porcelain
  • Boil the water first then put ingredients for 10-15 minutes soaking

Brewing Method: 

  • This method fits best with flowers and/or leaves
  • Water temperature: nearly the boiling point
  • Suggest brewing time: 3 minutes. (max. may not exceed 10-15 minutes)

In case long soaking/brewing, the taste may become bitter.
