Sometimes at a restaurant, you'll see a note
on the menu that says something like 'ask your

server about our daily tea selection.'

We've got black teas, green, and herbal.

Notice the 'h' in herbal is
silent in American English.

I'll probably have herbal. An herbal tea
is actually one that's made without tea,

but with herbs instead, and
it contains no caffeine.

Hot.

Okay, this is going to need to
steep for a few more minutes.

'Steep' is the word we use in English
when you put food, or in this case,

tea leaves, in a liquid like
water, to transfer the flavor.
