    No. Only tea is tea. If there’s no actual tea leaves in it then it’s an infusion. Not goddamn tea. You may as well soak orange peels in hot water and call it “orange coffee”, it makes zero sense.

      Yet everyone calls it tea, it’s sold as tea as well. First time I’m hearing the term infusion actually. Tea is just hot water with added flavouring and that’s how the word is used.

      Funnily enough I have dried orange peel pieces to make tea out of as well.

          I’m sorry you don’t know how language works. Tea may have referred to the leaf like 50 years ago but that is not the case anymore.
