Tisane

A tisane is a fancy name for a special kind of tea. Instead of using tea leaves from the tea plant, tisanes are made using different kinds of plants, flowers, herbs, and fruits.

So imagine if you were making tea from flowers instead of tea leaves. You would put some dried flowers (like chamomile) in hot water, let it steep for a few minutes, and then drink it like tea. This is exactly what a tisane is.

Tisanes can be made into all different kinds of flavors, like mint, lemon, and even spicy ginger. They can also be caffeine-free, which means you can drink them before bed and not worry about staying up all night like you might with regular tea.

So, just remember: tisanes are special teas made from different plants and flavors!
