Tools needed:
- Saucepan or tea kettle
- Glass jar or cup
- Fine mesh strainer
- Optional: muslin bag to put tea blend in
Infusion
- Boil at least 1 quart water in a saucepan or tea kettle.
- In jar or cup add herbs or muslin bag filled with tea blend.
- Pour boiling water over tea blend.
- Steep as long as desired, then strain if not using a muslin bag.
- Tea is now ready to drink.
