I was raised on black tea and herbal infusions. Black tea for breakfast and a little thermos to take to school, herbal for dinner.

My favourite herbals are fennel seed, a fennel, anise, caraway blend and thyme.

All of them are supposed to have health benefits. Thyme is antiseptic - Listerine contains some amount of thymol - and is pretty good when you have bronchitis or a sore throat. I never drank them only for that reason because they all taste very good.

Drinking herbals might not be the same kind of experience as well prepared real tea, but you have to pay much less attention to the brewing process and they make a healthy and flavoursome alternative to drinking water all day.

Can I steep a darjeeling twice or would that be a waste of time?

After having to resort to bags for a while I finally managed to go to Camellia Sinensis (mentioned in the OP) and got myself some leaves to boil. The guy at the shop was really helpful, but I forgot to ask.
