Tulsi tea

🔥 Prep

• Measure 200 ml of water and pour into a small saucepan.
• Rinse 1 tsp of Tulsi (holy basil) leaves under cool water and pat dry.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil for 2 minutes.
• 2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the rinsed Tulsi leaves.
• 3. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes, uncovered, to extract the flavor.
• 4. After steeping, remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea into a cup using a fine‑mesh sieve.
• 5. Optional: stir in 1 tsp of honey or a slice of lemon while the tea is still warm.

🔥 Serve

• Enjoy plain or with a drizzle of honey and a wedge of lemon on the side.
• Pair with light snacks such as plain biscuits or toasted nuts.
