This Fresh Basil Flower Tea is a great way to use up basil flowers and has a subtle minty, herby and refreshing flavor. (vegan, gluten-free)
Hi Everyone, I have been loving making this Fresh Basil Flower Tea.
I always have basil flowers from my garden from my "basil forest" that has grown this Summer.
I always prune the flowers to make the leaves grow and one day I realized I can use the flowers too because they are edible.
They have more of a subtle flavor compared to the leaves, making them perfect for tea!
