Herbal splashers can be made by steeping fresh or dried herbs in boiling water for 5 to 15 minutes. Another way to prepare the infusion is to put the herbs in cold water in a glass jar and set the jar in the sun. Always refrigerate the herbal splashers and discard unused portion after four days. Remember not to use aluminum containers to make herbal solutions. Dried herbs are more concentrated, so you will only need about a tablespoon per cup.
Fresh herbs require about a handful per quart.
