It's a simple mix-up, but it changes whether your tea actually works the way you want it to.
โช๏ธAn ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป is herbs steeped in water for a longer period โ think leaves, flowers, and delicate parts, covered and left to sit for 15โ20 minutes.
โช๏ธA ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป is tougher plant material, like roots or bark, gently simmered on the stove for 20โ30 minutes, because it takes more heat and time to draw out what's useful.
Steep a root instead of simmering it, and you'll end up with weak, watery tea. Simmer a delicate flower, and you'll cook off what made it worth using in the first place.
Matching the method to the plant part is one of the simplest ways to get better results with less guesswork.
