herb tea

herb tea
A beverage (a tisane) made by steeping herbs (sometimes also includes other plants, such as spices), other than tea leaves, in hot water. Technically not a tea because it does not contain tea leaves.

Soaking camomile leaves in hot water for five minutes produces a very relaxing herb tea.
