Questions about Herbal tea
How long should you steep herbal tea?
Pour freshly boiled water over the herbs and steep for about 5–10 minutes, covered to keep the aromatic oils from escaping. Delicate flowers can turn bitter if left much longer.
How much herbal tea should you use for one mug?
Use one tea bag or about 1–2 teaspoons of loose dried herbs for 250 ml of water. For a stronger brew, steep it longer rather than packing in extra herbs.
Does herbal tea contain caffeine?
A brew made only from herbs, flowers or spices is naturally caffeine-free. Check the ingredients if it is a blend: green or black tea, yerba mate and guarana contain caffeine.
Can you make iced herbal tea?
Brew it at double strength, strain out the herbs, then pour it over ice or chill it in the fridge. Add citrus or a few fresh mint leaves just before serving.
How should you store dried herbal tea?
Keep loose herbs and tea bags in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from the kettle and spices. Once brewed, cover and refrigerate the tea; use it within two days.
Can you use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs for herbal tea?
Yes. Rinse the leaves or flowers, lightly bruise them to release their aroma, and use roughly three times as much fresh herb as dried; strain before drinking.
Is herbal tea the same as green tea?
No. Herbal tea is an infusion of plants such as mint or chamomile, while green tea is made from tea leaves and contains caffeine. Green tea is a closer match to black tea than to most herbal infusions.
