The idea is that the infusion is not created by boiling the plants, but by soaking them in water at room temperature for 6-8 hours - the taste is identical to an infusion of tea, but this way the plants retain their healthy qualities better. As a plant you can use anything you like - here we had lime and acacia, we tasted rosemary and basil - all delicious. A carafe of such liqueur in the refrigerator will get rid of many of the seasonal problems with thirst and health, I recommend with confidence!
