Herbal Thai Basil Tea Recipe


Thai Basil tea is made with fresh holy basil leaves, picked from our gardens. It is one of the herbal teas the Food Forest Kitchen serves for free to our guests. Basil tea is said to promote oral health, relieve arthritis, boost immunity and treat headaches. You can find the Thai basil growing around the restaurant area of Eco-Logic Thailand and in and around the Special School building of the Thai Child Development Foundation. More information about the pandan plant can be found here.
