A tea is a small amount of fresh or dried herb brewed for a short time. An infusion is a large amount of dried herb (not fresh) brewed for a long time. An infusion extracts more nutrient than a tincture and more medicinal qualities and nutrients than a tea. Most infusions are short-lived; they stay good for only two or three days.
Prepare infusions in a pint (1/2 liter) and quart (liter) jars with tight lids. A teapot is not as good, but acceptable.
The usual dose of infusion is 1-2 cups (250-500 ml) a day, taken hot, chilled or at room temperature. Infusions may be seasoned with sweeteners, tamari, milk, or any other additions that please your taste. Infusions can be used as soup stocks, bath waters, hair rinses, facial washes, and so forth.
