OED says ptisan specifically refers to barley water and tisane is a
postperiod usage[... however tisane is a term used by people trying to
sound old-tymey, so it's another way to search.] It's also a french usage,
says the OED.
Bit embarrassing for us, as we named our herb guild newsletter _Tisane_.
