I MAKE A LOT OF POTIONS EVERY DAY. A herbal tea is an example of a potion. It is usually made with water and the leaves, or flowers are infused. If it is a decoction then the infused materials are thicker like twigs, branches and barks
The teas or potions I make are for health benefits. These are medicinal teas. I use only fresh, organic fair trade herbs I usually use 1 teaspoon for one cup of boiling water. The longer you let it simmer, the stronger the potion
For example if you have digestive problems I would encourage you to obtain GUTSY tea from Botanical Bounty
One heaping teaspoon of GUTSY tea to 1 one cup of water
Bring to a boil and pour over diffuser/ cup
Let simmer for 10 minutes
For a stronger potion let sit for another 5 minutes
