How to prepare aphrodisiac infusions?
This is a chapter that deserves special attention, because the flavor depends largely on the correct preparation, as well as the effects of the aphrodisiac infusion. In general, when it comes to drinks based on leaves and flowers, these should be finely chopped and should be immersed in very hot water, without letting it boil. Let stand for a few minutes and taste. This is a true infusion.
Otherwise, some substances such as tannins are released, which can give the infusion a bitter taste. This is the case of saffron, damiana and green tea, for example, so don't let them boil.
The infusions should not be allowed to boil, instead the decoctions are boiled for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Depending on personal preferences, certain aphrodisiac infusions are too strong for some palates (saffron and ginseng, for example), in which case they can be combined with other herbs, cinnamon, lemon peel, add honey to soften the flavor or add less from herbs to water. Some infusions such as peppermint tea are also exquisite if they are taken well cold or with slush ice.
Drinks based on seeds, roots or stems are allowed to boil for about 5-10 minutes, such as guarana and ginger. This procedure is called decoction . After boiling time, let stand a few minutes, strain and the drink is ready to taste.
Finally, if you or your partner likes cooking, you can use and combine herbs and roots such as ginger, mint, cloves and saffron to prepare delicious dishes. It is a matter of giving free rein to the imagination and enjoy.
