Description

With an incredible amount of variation, (over 150 different types of basil and counting!) from “Holy Basil” to “African Blue Basil” to “Thai Basil”, this strong, fragrant, and often sweet-tasting member of the mint family has held some surprisingly important roles in history. In fact its name is rife with meaning, as Basil comes from the Greek word Basileus, meaning “king”.

Directions
For making Basil Tea, use 1/2 cup of basil with 2 1/4 cups of hot water. Steep for 3 - 4 minutes. Uses
- Making tea out of basil is a great way to calm digestive upset and receive the benefits basil provides as an adaptogen. - Facial Steam for Headache: A facial steam with dried basil leaf can help alleviate a headache.
