Herbal teas, or tisanes, are made from flowers, leaves, roots and seeds rather than the tea plant, so they are naturally caffeine-free. Chamomile is soft and honeyed, peppermint is cool and bright, rooibos is sweet and nutty, and hibiscus is tart and ruby red.

Herbal teas, or tisanes, are made from flowers, leaves, roots and fruit rather than the tea plant, so most of them are naturally caffeine-free. They like boiling water and a longer steep than tea: use 1 to 2 teaspoons per 250 ml, water at 95-100 °C (203-212 °F) and 5 to 7 minutes, covered so the aroma stays in the cup. Popular choices include chamomile, mint, hibiscus and rooibos.
