There’s nothing like having a cup of herbal tea for mere pleasure or for the purpose of good health. Herbal teas are a favorite way for many people to enjoy the quality of nutritious herbs.
Herbal infusions are also a great way to consume herbs.

So what’s the difference between an herbal tea and an herbal infusion?
An herbal tea is most often used with single herbs or a mixture of herbs for the purpose of simply enjoying a cup of tea or during times of illness.
An herbal infusion is very much like a tea, only it is steeped longer and uses a larger amount of herb. The purpose of an herbal infusion is feeding your body a high dose of vitamins and minerals. According to Nature Skills, a cup of nettle tea has 5-10 mg. of calcium, while a cup of nettle infusion can contain up to 500 mg. of calcium!
Clearly, infusions provide many more times the amount of nutrition than tea!
