Herbal infusion
CAUTION!
Always prepare infusions of herbs, fruit, Rooibos and spice with boiling
water and let them steep for minimum 5 to 10 minutes. This is to ensure
that the beverage is completely safe for consumption!
For herbal infusions, whether prepared with loose leaves or bags, always use
boiling water and adhere to the recommended steeping time. In extremely rare
cases, herbal mixtures might contain Salmonella, which is however effectively
destroyed by boiling water. Incorrect preparation of the infusion can pose a health
risk, especially in connection with infusions for children.
Never prepare herbal infusions using water that is not boiling hot, for example to
make a beverage that is at drinking temperature the moment it is prepared. Germs
that might be contained in the ingredients might not be destroyed, which could be
particularly harmful to babies, small children and the sick. Never let the prepared
infusion stand for several hours before consuming it.
While the boiling water destroys all germs contained in the herbal mixture, spores
might survive. They may germinate in the warm water.
