I wish I could try some! I recently discovered <a href="http://ratetea.net/style/tulsi/133/" rel="nofollow">holy basil tea</a> which is an herbal tea made out of a close cousin of sweet basil that is used in Ayurveda (the traditional medicine of India) and as a seasoning in Indian food. It's delicious, and there is substantial evidence that it has a number of health benefits. I haven't tried making tea from regular sweet basil (honestly, I can't grow enough of it--I constantly use it up in tomato salads as fast as I can grow it!) but I'd imagine it would also make a delicious tea. And, given what I know about its chemistry, I suspect that it may share some of the health benefits of its Indian cousin. This sounds and looks really good. I wish I could try some!

If my email address is NEVER published or shared, then why is it REQUIRED? I'm thinking maybe to cut down on spam or something, but still. Folks are so hung-up on privacy these days (myself included, obviously). Why would email be required? Sorry to come across as a jerk. I am rather blunt. Just a question.
