Extra Tips:
Herbal tea brewing tips: bring water to a boil and let it sit for two or three minutes before pouring on the loose leaves, as boiling temperatures might burn the leaves. Let the tea steep for about five minutes. Use one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup. Alternatively, you can make herbal tea using a teabag for more convenience.
You can use other type of herbal teas like ginger or African rooibos.
You can cold brew loose leaf tea by infusing the tea leaves with cold water instead of hot water and then refrigerating for eight hours or overnight.
