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 standing for several hours.
