Allow the hot water and herbs to steep for five minutes. The longer you let it steep the stronger the tea will become. If you like strong tea then I suggest letting it steep for ten minutes or so.

Tips & Warnings
If you would rather, you can place a cup of water in the microwave, and let it stay in there until it becomes steaming hot and then follow the directions for using the herbs and tea ball in the water.
If you don't own a teapot or don't wish to use one then simply use a small sauce pan in place of it.
Do not drink if you are allergic to bilberry.
If drinking hot then be careful how hot you drink it, allowing it to cool some, so that you don't burn yourself.
Do not add a larger amount of herbs than the amount that is stated within this article.
