Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a kettle. Remove from heat and add 2 jasmine green tea bags, 10 fresh basil leaves, and 1 inch of thinly sliced fresh ginger. Cover and steep for 5 minutes until fragrant and infused.
  2. Step 2: Remove tea bags, basil leaves, and ginger slices by straining the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a teapot or heatproof pitcher.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 tbsp honey if desired for sweetness. Serve warm in cups, garnished with a fresh basil leaf for aroma.
