Tulsi Tea (Holy Basil)

August 29, 2024

Tulsi is an adaptogenic herb that makes a sweet, flavorful tea.  

Drink daily for ultimate benefits to your adrenal system.  This is one of my favorite herbs because it blends well with most other herbs, and the wonders it does for my summertime stress is amazing.  

Tulsi Tea

Makes 1 quart (32 oz.) of tea

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 oz. (or more!) of Tulsi (Holy Basil) -leaves, steams, and flowers are all good!
  • 32 oz. of just boiled water. See notes for sun tea.  

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Rinse Tulsi gently in cold water and place in 1 quart jar glass mason jar or tea pot.  
  2. Place jar on a trivet/hot pad/tea towel and add in just boiled water.  
  3. Let steep with lid on for at least 10 min.  
  4. Strain (or just pour with a few blossoms in your cup), pour, and enjoy!  
  5. Keep remaining tea (strained or with herbs) in fridge for a few days.  Strain for a longer fridge life.  

NOTES:

For sun tea, for sure use a jar, skip the boiling water and add in cool water.  Set jar in a sunny spot outdoors for 3-12 hours (or 24 if you want to add some moon tea magic in there.)  Strain/pour and enjoy!  

The longer you let your tea steep, the stronger it will be, and the less amount you will need per serving.
