Others argue that herb is an overall term for all useful plants that can be used in food, beverage and medicine. Herbs are often beautiful to grow, highly fragrant and aromatic in food and drinks.

Verbena
Verbena är en gammal ört som passar att dricka efter maten. Det är ett vackert te med ljusgul färg och en svag doft av citron som dricks i många länder runt Medelhavet.
Brewing
Good quality water is of great importance for herbal tea. Hard water or water with other off-flavors affect your cup of herbal tea both in appearance and taste.
Use 1-2 teaspoons of herb per teacup. Add the herbs in a tea pot, pour on the steaming hot water and put on the lid to prevent the valuable substances from evaporate. Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes. Strain it into your cup and enjoy the smell and taste.
Milk does not compliment herbal tea but honey is excellent if you want to add sweetness. It’s beautiful to let the herbal tea cool, to be drunk as iced tea or instead of juice.
