Infusions or Tisanes
Infusions of all kinds, both hot and cold are extremely popular throughout the Middle East for their soothing and medicinal properties as well as for their fragrance.
They are made from:
dried fruits like apples and apricots
roots like ginger and licorice
pods like carob and tamarind
seeds like anise and caraway
Dried flowers and leaves like:
dried mint
verbena
sage
sweet basil
sweet marjaram
chamomile
lime blossom
jasmine
orange blossom
rose petals
hibiscus
Make the tisanes in a teapot the same way you make tea, warming the teapot and pouring boiling water over your ingredients. Sweeten in your cup if you like with sugar or honey.

I hope this little creation of mine qualifies itself to be in this catagory. If not, please point me in the right direction

Oh yes! I think this does belong here!
I wonder if that would be good iced in the summer?
