I just chuck a few leaves int the teapot and let it brew for a bit then strain it into the cup. I also use dried stelvia leaves to sweeten the more bitter herbs. And like you I use lemon for some of them.<br />Have a good T day,<br />Lisca#9Liscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-49743141580898578722015-09-08T01:52:09.602-05:002015-09-08T01:52:09.602-05:00Looks like Zen Elizabeth!

It looks like a lot of work, too, with picking and brewing etc, but well worth it if it tastes good. I do drink some teas in winter, with ginger and lemon etc, but usually make them from tea bags! Thanks for showing all the steps in brewing your tisane, and for the good tip about not using aluminium.

Then make my drink just like a hot tea or a brewed ice tea. Sometimes I will place the fresh herbs directly in the teapot and pour the hot water over them and let them steep . I like stronger teas so I let them steep for at least 3 minutes and sometimes longer.

I drink tea and coffee. I drink de-caf tea and coffee. I drink fruit 'teas' and mint 'teas'. I dislike camomile very much (blech!) but have not ried many of the others you mentioned like bark teas. What a fascinating topic. Thank you for bringing it up. It's a shame your tisane wasn't as nice as it looked. What if you'd added a touch of honey perhaps, or a sugar; perhaps that would have made it better?
