Temperature and Timing
Each herbal infusion has its specific brew conditions. Generally, a temperature range of 85-95°C is optimal for most herbal blends. However, it’s crucial to verify the ideal conditions specific to your infusion of choice to avoid a bitter or overly mild taste.
- Infusion Time: Typically, herbal infusions require a steeping time of 5-10 minutes. Experiment to find your perfect balance of aroma and flavor.
Avoid the pitfall of oversteeping, which can lead to unpleasant bitterness. Start with the lower recommended time and increase gradually as you taste-test.
