Fresh Tulsi Tea
Four to six sprigs of fresh tulsi
One quart of water
Lay out tulsi sprigs and leaves in a single layer on a clean dish towel or drying rack. Allow to sit for one full day to wilt. Once the herb is wilted, heat water to 190 degrees F or just below boiling. Place the wilted tulsi in a quart canning jar. Pour the hot water over the herbs. Cover the jar with a lid or plate to capture the volatile oils. Steep at least 15 minutes. Strain if desired and drink, or cool further, pour over ice, and enjoy
