Herbal tea under the microscope\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Herbal tea<\/strong> is a drink obtained by the maceration<\/strong>, decoction<\/strong> or infusion<\/strong> (hence its alternative name) of plants<\/strong> (flowers, leaves, roots or stems). The original aim of this infusion was to extract the plant\u2019s active substances<\/strong>. This often resulted in a drawn-out maceration<\/strong> process and a somewhat bitter taste, particularly in the case of verbena tea<\/strong>. These days, a shorter infusion<\/strong> time<\/strong> (between 4 and 5 minutes) is all you need to extract the plant\u2019s flavours and active substances. Herbal tea<\/strong> can be brewed and enjoyed either hot or cold, it makes a delicious and refreshing drink all year round. On top of that, herbal teas really do contain medicinal qualities<\/strong> which help with your everyday aches and pains. You must therefore always remember to put the lid on your teapot or cup during the infusion time so you can stop the active substances (and all their goodness) from evaporating away. Since they contain neither caffeine nor tannin<\/strong>, herbal teas can be drunk by the young and elderly alike. Experts even recommend replacing a cup of coffee or two with herbal tea<\/strong> (particularly if you\u2019re a big coffee drinker!).<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
