Methods/steps

Use a tea kettle or a large stainless pot to heat the water.
In a separate teapot or pot, measure and add the herbs (2 teaspoons fresh herbs per cup of water, or 1 teaspoon dried herbs per cup of water).
Pour the desired amount of water over the herbs, cover and let infuse, or steep, for at least 20 minutes.
Strain and enjoy!

Note: Many herbs can infuse longer, even overnight for a stronger medicinal tea. Others, like chamomile, may require a shorter infusion time according to taste and desired strength.
