R: Preparation of Herbal Tea as Infusion or by Maceration at Room Temperature Using Mistletoe Tea as an Example.

European mistletoe attached to a silver birch

Now, this is one well know Druidic Herb.

While I expect that they did not have Druid's in mind when they did this study. It would seem that perhaps one would wand to use both Infusion and Maceration processes for critical needs.

One would think that the ancient Druids and Celts used Maceration most often and almost always in the Stone ages.
