What is a Herb?

"An infusion can be prepared in a drinking cup (by just pouring the heated water over the Herb in the cup) or by dropping the Herb into the pot in which the water was heated. Empty gauze tea bags are even available at some Herb stores; these bags can be filled with Herbs and then sealed with an iron. If an infusion is prepared in the heating pan or pot, it is best to use a ceramic pot with a lid (avoid metal pots). Stir the preparation a few times while steeping, especially if you are using cut Herbs, and keep the infusion covered. Do the research required to find a good herbal supplier. Ask questions and make sure you are obtaining the correct species of plant, and one that has been sustainably harvested."
