Many of our customers have not had the pleasure of loose-leaf tea before, we are happy to share our tips.

Infusion Method:
Bring water to boil, let cool, aiming for 190°F. Place 1-2 TSP of tea into a tea strainer. Place the strainer in your favorite teacup. Pour the water over and steep for 5 minutes. Drink and Enjoy! Use this method for delicate blends containing leaves and petals. Appropriate for all of our tea blends.

Tip: Cover the teacup as it steeps to trap the aromatic essential oils

Decoction Method:
Place 1TBSP of herbs in a small saucepan of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer with lid on for 20 minutes. Take off heat and strain the herbs. Enjoy! Use this method for hardier tea blends contains roots and seeds. Great method for our Winter Tea and Big Apple Tea blends.

The shelf life of tea and dried herbs is generally 1-2 years. However, these products will not “go bad” as they have no moisture. They will lose potency the longer they sit unused. The rule is, if you can still smell it, it still has benefits.

For Pixie Doodle Potions after they have been infused, please see the shelf life below.

Olive oil - 6 months
Vinegar - 1 to 5 years
Liquor - 5+ years

To prolong shelf life, store products in a sealed container in a dark cabinet.

Remove the screw band, cheesecloth, lid, and wax paper. Fill the jar with your olive oil, vinegar, or liquor. Replace wax paper, lid, cheesecloth, and screw band in that order. Let it infuse for up to four weeks, shaking gently once a day. Taste periodically until the desired flavor is reached. Once you like the flavor, strain using the cheesecloth and a funnel into a clean, dry bottle. Store in a cool, dark cabinet. Use your new olive oil, vinegar, or liquor as you normally would. Eat, drink, cook, enjoy!
