For blends of more than 2 herbs, use 1 Tbsp. dried herb blend per cup of hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINFUSIONS are for plant materials that are relatively fragile (leaves, fruits, seeds, flowers and roots with high volatile oils like Valerian or Goldenseal). Place a tight fitting lid over the tea, and allow to steep for 10-20 minutes, or overnight – depending on the flavour and strength you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDECOCTIONS are like infusions, but are used when the plant material is tenacious (such as roots, barks, nuts and non-aromatic seeds). This method makes very concentrated teas, so the plant material can be used 2-3 times before discarding. Bring water to a boil. Add herb to boiling water, cover with tight fitting lid, and allow to simmer on low heat for 15-20 mins. Remove from heat and strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to brew when your blend has both fragile and tenacious herbs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou do both methods!
