What Is an Herbal Infusion?

An herbal infusion is a nourishing drink made by steeping herbs in hot water for an extended period of time—typically 4 to 12 hours—to extract a greater amount of vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds than a regular cup of tea.

Think of it as a deeper, more nutrient-rich form of herbal tea.

Unlike a quick tea that steeps for 5–10 minutes, an infusion allows herbs to fully release their nourishment into the water.
