As part of our ongoing work on the valorization of plant species, this study estimated the phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of medicinal plants used in Colombia. Infusions were prepared from the dried leaves of 24 medicinal plants. The infusions were subjected to total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AC) analysis using microscale colorimetric methods. The results showed that the medicinal plants with the highest TPC and AC values were eucalyptus, oregano, and lemon balm
