A '''herbal tea''', '''tisane''', or '''ptisan''' is a herbal infusion made from anything other than the leaves of the [[tea]] bush (''Camellia sinensis'').

Herbal teas can be made with fresh or [[dried]] flowers, leaves, [[seeds]] or roots, generally by pouring [[boiling]] water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes. Seeds and roots can also be [[boiled]] on a stove. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served. Many companies produce herbal tea bags for such infusions.

On the other hand, flavoured teas are prepared by adding other plants to an actual [[tea]] (black, oolong, green, yellow, or white tea); for example, the popular [[Earl Grey tea]] is black tea with [[bergamot]], jasmine tea is Chinese tea with jasmine flowers, and genmaicha is a Japanese green tea with toasted [[rice]].
