An infusion of herbs and flowers spices or leaves?

An infusion typically uses herbs, flowers, spices, or leaves. It's a method of extracting flavors and properties from these ingredients by steeping them in hot water.

Here's a breakdown:

* Herbs: These are the leafy parts of plants, used fresh or dried. Examples include mint, basil, thyme, rosemary, and chamomile.

* Flowers: Some flowers are used for their taste and fragrance, like lavender, hibiscus, and rose.

* Spices: These are the dried seeds, fruits, roots, or bark of plants, often used in small quantities for flavoring. Examples include cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and pepper.

* Leaves: While some leaves are considered herbs, others are used for their unique qualities in infusions, like tea leaves (black, green, white) or bay leaves.

So, an infusion can involve any combination of these ingredients depending on the desired flavor and properties.
