Tea & Herbal Infusions

Tea and Herbal Infusions

Herbal infusions are made by steeping dried flowers, leaves, fruits and roots in hot water. Steeping draws out the plants' aromatic oils and antioxidants, giving a drink that is both flavourful and soothing. In Iran a cup of tea or herbal brew is part of daily hospitality, especially in the cold months.
