hist-brewing: Herbs and no hops

[Sarah Wakely]

Hello all,
Firstly, apologies because I think the subject of this post has already been 
covered – but I'm a newbie and a little bit confused – I'm hoping someone 
can help clarify things!
Basically, I've made medieval style ale in the past (ie no hops), but it's 
never been very nice. So I'd like to try adding herbs to make it taste 
better. My question is: at what stage in the process do I add them? And do I 
leave them in there, or strain them off? Finally, I've heard that you can 
use marshmallow to add taste – I have some marshmallow leaves. Are these 
suitable, or should I use root instead?
Sorry if this has already been covered – like I say, I'm just confused!
Thanks
Sarah
