Infusions:
This is like making tea or coffee, you place the herb in a tea infuser , place the infuser in your cup, pour fresh boiled water in cup, cover cup for 5 to 10 minutes then remove infuser, drink your tea as is or add honey or lemon or cinnamon to help mask the taste of bitter tasting teas.
Decoctions:
This is for roots, bark, berries. You place your herbs into a sauce pan, add enough water to just cover the herbs, bring to a hard boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Strain the liquid thru a coffee filter or strainer into a pitcher. Use the amount you need place the rest in a cool place will last about 48 in a cool place .
I will add more tomorrow . There is still tinctures, ointments and creams.
I have at one time or another made all of the above. And the creams and ointments are a pain.
