Decoction

Extraction by prolonged boiling, used for hard plant parts (roots, bark, woody stems, seeds) whose active compounds need more time and heat to release than a simple infusion provides.

Process summary

1) Finely chop the hard plant material. 2) Cover with cold water in a pot. 3) Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes (sometimes longer, depending on the material). 4) Let cool, strain and use the resulting liquid.
