Tea comes from the plant species, Camellia sinensis. However, herbal teas belong to a completely different category called tisanes or teasan, which is an infusion of herbs, fruits and plant species without any tea leaves. Such teas are usually caffeine-free tea.

One of the best ways to get these medicinal herbs into your daily life is to add them into your foods, soups and make up herbal teas to sip on throughout the day.

You can have them warm or even iced and even adding raw honey to these teas can make them taste sweeter as well as add in some honey benefits as well
