Basil Tea

(I promise it tastes better than it sounds)

Ingredients:

• 4 fresh basil leaves
• Water
• 1 lemon (3-5 drops of juice to taste)
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• A teaspoon of raw sugar

Directions:

Pick the freshest basil leaves and wash them gently to avoid blemishing the leaves.

Place the leaves in the strainer

Boil water in a kettle.

Put the hot boiling water into your cup or mug. Then, put the fresh basil leaves into it with the other ingredients.

Let it set for around 3-4 minutes until the water turns into a bit of a golden colour.

Using the strainer, remove the leaves.
