What does TISANE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A drink made by steeping herbs, flowers, or other plant material in hot water; a herbal tea.
Herbal drinks distinguish tisane from ordinary tea by containing no leaves of the tea plant, drawing flavor instead from herbs such as mint, chamomile, or lemon verbena. The word entered English from French and originally referred to a barley-based medicinal drink before broadening to cover herbal infusions generally. People today often reach for a tisane as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee or black tea.
