Can you use dried leaves for making infusion water?

I don't see why not. The difference between fresh/dried peppermint is that the fresh is a bit stronger, and the dried is easier to store (IMO). This makes a wonderful tea, I don't see why it wouldn't work well in an infusion.

Of course you can by using the dried leaves to make a tea. Pour boiling water over your dried leaves until all the leaves are totally underwater with around an 5 inches of water over the top of the leaves guessing here is okay. Let your tea steep for as long as you like really but at least 15 minutes. The longer it steeps the longer the water is infused with the dried leaves. You can not drink or eat all leaves so be sure of what you are infusing. Drain the infused tea into a jar and discard the leaves.

I have never made infusion water. However, I would think so. You can use dried leaves for infusing oils. I would study it on line a bit though.

Yes. Just make sure the amount of water you pour in will cover all of the loose leaf tea in the infuser.

Unless the tea leaves are large (e.g., I use fresh peppermint leaves in my pitcher a lot along with various fruits/vegetables), I wouldn't recommend this pitcher for that use because there is no strainer in the infuser; it's only large slots.

Since the Vitalizer has a Mineral Cube in it, the water is infused with an exact measurement of minerals in each 1/2 gallon processed. It is best to use Distilled water, but if you are just looking for the oxygen infusion, you can use it with any water. It tastes great and I can really tell a difference in how well hydrated I am.

I have no idea - when I used to make my own from the leaves, which I distilled, I added a small amount of vodka to keep it from spoiling. It did not take much. mac

It is heavy plastic so i suppose you could but infusion works best in cold water.

no! use distilled water or rain water only, 2ndly dont buy it online buy it from a local nursery, dew plants are very hard to keep alive the first year.

It really depends on what container you're using, but the infuser should hold enough leaves to make a gallon.

YES YOU CAN. But keep in mind it is stainless steel and will transmit heat through the cap. I would guess that 99 percent of the time this is not a concern.BTW for a two cup size infuser this is just about my favorite. Definitely when using loose chamomile due to al the tiny pieces this one is much easier to clean.

No You cannot use anything except distilled water for your Vicks Steam Inhaler.

I don't know why you couldn't, it is the same thing as keeping tea leaves in. I suppose you brew it like tea until it is as dark as you want it.

No. I use an infuser in mine when I don't use bags. The spout is completely open so leaf will simply pour out.

Linden is more for muscular.A great infusion is 2 ounces of linden in a 2 quart mason jar pour in hot water to fill cap and let steep for 8 hours and drink.It heals muscles.Abscesses do better with burdock root poultice.If I can help you any further let me know. Maestradawitch@gmail.com

Technically, yes, but if pressed to the bottom the leaf/water ratio is so small that additional infusion is limited.

Yes you can use regular water but it is better for your skin if you use drinking watet

The directions don't say if it can be used for "hot" water. Since this is a 3 quart pitcher made for infusing, I don't know why you would want that much flavored "hot" water and/or it wouldn't stay hot for very long and/or adding hot water would probably turn the infused veg/fruit to mush. If you want flavored hot water, maybe heat up the infused cold water in the microwave...just a suggestion.

Hi Faith, I am not sure what you mean by your question as I have never made any oil infusions. The mesh is really fine and will prevent almost any sized particle through to the cup except for very fine powders and grains. I looked at some strainers for oil infusers and I think that this should work for you. I am guessing that you will strain your oil infusion through the strainer? It should be very good for that, but I guess that it might depend on how thick the oil is. Wish I could give you a more definitive answer. I hope that this helps. Regards, Coolahoo
