TULSI TEA

Makes 1 quart

Handful tulsi Sprig rosemary Handful mint (my favorite is apple mint)

Add the tulsi, rosemary and mint to a quart jar. Fill with hot water and set out in the sun for the afternoon with the lid on. The solar heat will help infuse the medicine and flavors into the water. Strain after a few hours and refrigerate overnight.
