Enjoyed for ages, herbal infusions are made from a variety of different plants, not the tea plant (Camellia Sinensis). Popular for their medicinal and calming qualities, they have unique flavous and are all caffeine-free.

Dried herbs are best suited for infusions because the minerals and nutrients  contained within them are often more easily accessed. Although almost any part of the plant can be infused, the steeping time and amount of water used will vary. Seeds, berries, flowers, and leaves will need to steep for shorter periods of time than roots and barks. Because they are more delicate, it takes less time for their nutrients to be released into the water.

Dried leaves and flowers are the most common plant material used for infusions.
