Herbal Tea
Herbal tea and other types of tea such as fruit, rooibos and spiced teas are made in the same
way as black tea (see the "Tips For Making Tea" chapter | "Black Tea"). Depending on the
variety, the different mixtures require an infusion time of approx. 5 – 10 minutes.
In rare cases, herbal tea mixtures may contain germs (such as salmonella) which are killed
off by being heated. Herbal tea must therefore always be infused using boiling water. This
is the only way to obtain a safe product to consume!
Herbal tea mixtures also contain spores which are not killed off by boiling water. They
can germinate in warm water. For this reason, infused herbal tea must not be left stan-
ding for several hours.
