Many enthusiasts enjoy several cups a day of their favorite herbal
infusion, which is a large portion of herb brewed for at least four
hours and as long as ten. I recommend one cup of the dried herb
placed in a quart canning jar and filled with freshly boiled water.
After the steeping, strain with a non-metallic method, such as
cheesecloth or bamboo. Herbal Infusions can be made with the
leaves and fruits which provide the magical and healing aspects of
this comforting concoction. Many of the favorite kitchen witch
herbs contain minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals, including the list herein. Roots, leaves, flowers, needles and seeds can all be
used—depending on which fruit or herb is chosen to be the base.
There are some cases when all parts of the plant can be used in
some manner, and at others only one or two parts are safe—it is
important, when creating a blend from scratch, that the creator has
researched ingredients to understand what parts can be used.
What do you need to attend to in your life now? This list of herbs
and associations can be your guide; one of the smartest ways to
approach this methodology is to brew right before bedtime, and
you will awaken to a freshly infused herb. Some of the most popular
herbs and fruits used to create infusions are:
