What is Lemon balm and holy basil tea?
Lemon balm and holy basil tea is an herbal infusion made by steeping the leaves of lemon balm and holy basil, also known as tulsi. Lemon balm has long been used in parts of Europe and the Mediterranean, while holy basil is especially familiar in South Asian food and drink traditions. Unlike black or green tea, this blend is naturally caffeine-free.
Its flavour brings together lemon balm’s fresh, gently citrusy notes and holy basil’s fuller, peppery-herbal character. It can be served hot or chilled, often plain, after a meal or as an evening drink; in South Asia, tulsi infusions are also commonly enjoyed at home. The brew is very low in calories when unsweetened. If you prefer a milder cup, steep the leaves briefly and add lemon or a little honey to taste.
