What is a Tisane?
Pronounced tee-zahn, this is the French term (now adopted by most western cultures) for any infused beverage made with anything other than actual tea leaves. This includes herbal tea, Rooibos, Heuningbos, fruit melanges, and many others. Some common herbs that are used as tisanes are peppermint, chamomile, rose hips, lemon verbena, and fennel.
