To make an infusion, you will need a container such as a heat resistant quart canning jar with an airtight cover or screw top. Place the herbs in the quart jar, two to four tablespoons of dried herb, or one to two handfuls of fresh herbs. Fill the jar with boiling water right up to the top and cover tightly. Infuse the herbs for between 3-8 hours, or overnight.

Infusions will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it is best to make them fresh everyday. they can be taken cold, but for some mommies, herbal teas support milk supply better if warmed in a pot. DO NOT MICROWAVE HERBAL TEA. Sweeten to taste with a natural sweetener.
