Now that I've done some more searching, it appears that this topic has been covered pretty extensively before, however this appears to be the only reference to making "willow water" via steeping overnight. Which I must say makes it a much more readily available remedy in my mind. Not only would steeping be a faster method, but it probably produced a more potent "tea" than the alternative methods of just placing twigs in a bucket of water and allowing them to root out. Unless you wanted to grow the twigs into trees some day.
