I'm sure whatever good-faith conclusion you come up with is fine. Did you not see the dictionary definitions I pasted? Herbal tea is defined as tea. If the Church offers “no guidance” about something, it’s a safe bet the Church doesn’t care what you do with it. The Church does offer guidance regarding consumption of true tea, but of course, herbal tea (so called), is not true tea. You really are over-thinking this. Regarding your dictionary definitions, I prefer the more precise definition in the Wikipedia entry cited by me and someone else here. Edited January 23, 2019 by Scott Lloyd 1

Years ago I would occasionally have issues with hypoglycemia mid morning and ginseng appears to have helped control blood sugar. Keep in mind that I'm talking about American ginseng, not Asian ginseng. If your sleep troubles are anxiety related, you might want to check out magnolia bark teas. I like to combine magnolia bark with passionflower leaves to help with anxiety related sleep issues. Love passionflower (also hops), unfortunately it is more than just anxiety related and needs stronger stuff than herbs usually, but I need to take a 'vacation' sometime, so will make a note to try these next time. Hadn't come across magnolia bark before, iirc (haven't studied herbs for probably 25 years since properly diagnosed, so little blurry). My daughter is on antianxiety meds. I will have to check to see how it interacts with her long list, including diabetes type 1. Wish health issues weren't so much like a massive puzzle which has lost its box so no pictures to guide and likely some missing pieces, but who knows how many? I can't function very well in the morning until my meds kick in fully, which takes about 2 hours, so often don't really get going till afternoon. I think I will try American ginseng for a morning brew to see if that can get things going quicker. I get hypoglycemic issues when not great sleep (passed all the major tests for it two years after my son was born when we were clueless, but strangely when he started going to school and I could sleep in, no more hypoglycemia...doctors were mystified until 20 years later when all was revealed, sort of...well, the big thing). Still can't fast if I want to stay vertical.

Tut tut! 😛 The Church doesn’t need to make such distinction where the distinction already exists. Any person in possession of the facts will recognize that there is true tea (derived from the tea plant) and there are beverages that have been given the misnomer “tea” when they really are no such thing. And yes, in this instance the Wikipedia explanation is superior to any source that does not make an informative distinction between true tea and what is no more tea than root beer is real beer. 1
