So I thought that with, say, green tea, if you put the leaves in water that is actually at a boil and still boiling it can destroy some of the antioxidants (not necessarily all) so it just makes me wonder if other good components of the herb would be destroyed when boiled, curious what your thoughts are?

i would mix the powdered plant material and 212 degree water and mix for 30 seconds then very fast cool the liquid in ice water.
complex biological molecules degrade fast at 212 degrees.


Then i would drink the liquid on an empty stomach so it isn't degraded by stomach acid.
