We just got our basil planted. Maybe our all time favorite herb.
How do you make your tea? Do you harvest when just a few flowers are in bloom?
These are actually flowers just continually growing over winter, and now at the start of spring.
It's sub-tropical, so winter light hrs about 10.5/13.5 and vice versa in summer. Never any freezing winter to kill them, either.
But, I'm moving my pile of balcony basils and mints and things to a friends' outdoor garden, and start new plants in pots.
Haven't made basil tea before, so have no idea!!! Hahahaha!!!!!
I maybe mix with the local tea, for a basil infused local cup of chai.
Have no idea when to harvest for tea.
I grow bushy and tip for the leaves for cooking, and most people don't want to head the flowers.
So, thought I'd try to turn them into tea.
Don't know what I'm doing, so advice welcomed, thanks!!!!
