Herbal infusions are beverages made by steeping herbs, flowers, or other plant materials in hot water. This process extracts the flavors, aromas, and beneficial compounds from the plants, creating a drink that can be enjoyed for its taste or health benefits. Common ingredients include chamomile, peppermint, and hibiscus, each offering unique properties and flavors. Unlike traditional tea, which is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, herbal infusions can be made from a wide variety of botanicals. They are naturally caffeine-free and can be served hot or cold, making them a versatile choice for hydration and wellness.
