Roasted Chestnut Rooibos Tisane Tea

Red Rooibos, orange blossoms and roasted chestnut flavoring.

Tisanes come from a water-based infusion of herbs, spices, flowers, leaves, etc. and contain no caffeine, but have diverse herbal components.

Tisanes can be prepared using one of two methods.

The first method is called decoction. To prepare a tisane using this method, first place the tisane in a pot with cool water. Ensure that this pot is not aluminum, as that can react with the herbs. Next, place the pot on the stove, and bring the water to a boil. You should boil the tisane until two-thirds of the water has evaporated, and then strain it before consumption.

Alternately, you can prepare a tisane using the infusion method, in which herbs are steeped in hot water, this is then strained, and the herbs are sifted through.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 5-10 minutes.
