That's OK, you can ask as many questions as you like.

I'm not an expert on teamaking, but you could use powdered herb, dried herb or the whole seeds. They would all make tea and the only advantage of teabags as far as I know is that in addition to the main herb they contain other herbs to make the tea better tasting. A hops teabag for example wouldn't contain just hops, but a 'hops recipe' with other herbs to moderate the taste, as the natural taste of hops is a bitter one. As regards the quantity to be used of powdered herbs, I suspect that 2g would still be OK.
