Preparing tea the right way – medicibal tea techniques

Medicinal teas are simple to prepare. What’s more, they can be used in several ways. Teas can be drunk from a cup, poured into a bath, or used as compress for rashes, minor burns, and mild sprains. Medicinal teas are made by either steeping or simmering. To steep a herb, you soak it in water that has been brought just to a rolling boil, then removed from the heat. Use a timer if you have to; the few minutes necessary for soaking a regular tea bag are not quite enough time for medicinal teas. To simmer a herb, on the other hand, you need to leave it over the heat, but with the mixture of herbs and water gently but barely boiling.
