Four to six sprigs of fresh tulsi (or swap out tulsi for fresh mint, lemon balm, anise hyssop, or another tea herb) All can be found in the Dsicovery Garden!
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.
