Iced refresher

This morning when my CSA farmer offered me a choice betweed two varieties of sweet basil and holy basil tulsi, I did not hesitate to choose the fresh Holy Basil (tulsi)!  Holy Basil is very nourishing to the adrenal glands and offers hepatoprotection as well.  The link below contains some relevant information on the benefits of Holy Basil.

Here is one way that my family enjoys the refreshing benefits of Holy Basil:

Herbed Iced 'Tea'

1/4 c. fresh Holy Basil

1/4 c. Fresh sweet basil

1" fresh ginger

Wash and chop the herbs and place in a 1qt. glass jar.  Pour almost boiling water over the herbs, cap and refrigerate.  Once chilled, serve over ice.  Lemon and sweetener may be added to taste, but the sweetener is not at all necessary.

Fresh basils

Washed and chopped herbs

Heat proof quart jar

Almost boiling water to the top.  Cap & ready to be chilled.

Enjoy!
