        If I were to make a hot infusion with a percolator would it be too hot and kill the medicinal properties of the tea?

          DEFINITELY. The pot has to heat the water to boiling to get it to percolate. Colder is better in my world. Try making an infusion like they do sun tea maybe? But only if you really do like it on the warm side.

            I wouldn’t use a percolator. Just boil some water, turn it off and throw the herbs in with a lid. Simple. 🙂

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
