Herbal teas. Tray containing an assortment of herbal teas and a teapot. Herbal tea is an infusion of herbs in boiling water, drunk for its beneficial effects. Camomile (Chamomilla nobilis, lower right) is brewed to make a sedative drink; while Citrus aurantium (centre left & spoon at upper right), a derivative of the seville orange, is a natural digestive stimulant. The lime tree leaf (Tilia sp., on spoon off the tray) can also be used to make sedative drink. Also seen in the image are blackcurrant leaves at centre right.
