Welcoming Autumn witha a Infusion:))

     Herbal infusions, often known as herbal teas are not only taken to treat specific ailments but sometime soothing to have it on a chilly day too. They also make delicious and healthy alternatives to tea or coffee for regular drinking during day or after meals. Herbal teas have a wide range of flavors and it is worth experimenting to discover a mix you enjoy. Fresh herbs may be dried at home for making tea and also ready made teabags are available at health food stores.

Here is a teas cape to infuse to have Chamomile infusion. Chamomile tea is very relaxing and soothing. Sometime some feel the taste is unpalatable but combining it with standard Indian tea is good.

   Infusions can be made from a single herb or from combination of herbs and may be taken hot or cold. Best is to make from fresh herbs by placing the herbs on a muslin square and tie it into small bundle with a string. Parts of the herbs that can be used for infusion are leaves, flowers and most aerial parts (dried or fresh).

   Here the color combination of the tea-scape are truly colors of Fall with dark shade tea kettle & plates, pair of owls, lantern and a Orange Pumpkin. Glowing candle looks pretty as it say the days are becoming shorter.
