tisane
Leafy medicinal brew
A tisane is an herbal infusion—a drink made by steeping herbs, flowers, or other plant material in hot water.
The term distinguishes such beverages from true tea, which comes specifically from the tea plant.
Chamomile, peppermint, and hibiscus are common tisanes: She sipped a calming tisane before bed.
