herbal tea
Steeped botanical beverage
Herbal tea is a beverage made by steeping plant materials—leaves, flowers, roots, or bark—in hot water.
Unlike true tea, which comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, herbal teas contain no actual tea leaves: chamomile tea, peppermint tea, rooibos.
The term is technically a misnomer, but universally understood.
Herbal teas are often caffeine-free and associated with relaxation or medicinal properties.
