Nutritional Benefit
Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi, is a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine, celebrated for its numerous health benefits. It is known to help regulate the immune system and reduce stress levels. Holy Basil is classified as an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to stress and promotes mental balance. It also promotes good sleep. The addition of the Toasted Orange Peel contributes a deep rich flavor and sweetness to the tea. It is also a source of vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health. Butterfly pea flower is another key ingredient in this blend. Traditionally used in Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, butterfly pea flower has gained popularity outside its native region due to its striking blue color that transforms into purple when an acidic substance like lemon juice is added. The flower imparts a mild, earthy flavor and is associated with various Ayurvedic properties. Butterfly Pea Flower contains antioxidants that may help combat oxidative stress in the body.
Preparation Instructions
For optimal flavor and properties when preparing Blue Anxietea, follow these guidelines.
It is recommended to boil water (around 200-212ºF) and steep 1-2 tsp of tea for about 4 - 7 minutes per 10-12 oz teapot. This method ensures that the flavors are fully extracted from both the Holy Basil and Butterfly Pea Flower, resulting in a deliciously aromatic beverage. You can steep this blend more than once, but the deepest color comes from the first pot.
In summary, combining Holy Basil with Butterfly Pea Flower creates a unique tea blend that not only delights the palate but also supports wellness through its various health benefits. This herbal infusion can be enjoyed hot or iced, making it versatile for different preferences.
