What water?

Mmm... I suppose for any purpose, you put however much you think should be mixed in. A pinch, a leaf, or perhaps a handful... All up to you, your intent, and the outcome you want. Otherwise, there should be the specific amount written for the ingredients in spells and rituals.

If you are making an infusion I would 3 cups herb to 3 cups of water. If you are making a decoction I would suggest adding about four cups worth of herbs to three cups water. These proportions are for medium to larger scale brews. Now the amount of herbs you add can also vary on the herbs potency and the dosage you'll be doing. If you have any other questions about herbalism send me a message and I'll be glad to help.

Oh ok thanks for helping guys

It all depends on what herb your speaking of, and what you are using it for. If taking them internally I would suggest you speak with a certified herbalist. Herbs can be just as dangerous as medicine if not used properly, or if combined with the wrong things.
