HOLY BASIL (#9) - Seasonal Honey
HOLY BASIL (#9) - Seasonal Honey
This delicious honey is made from wildcrafted flowering tops of Holy Basil or Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum). Each jar is 6 oz.
A revered adaptogenic herb in the Ayurvedic tradition, Tulsi is often used as a tonic to gently aid the body’s response to stress and fatigue. Tulsi is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may promote mental well-being.
Each batch of Finlay's Garden Herbal Honey is lovingly crafted and yields only a few tasty jars at a time. After filling up mason jars with the honey and dried herbs, I place them in my sunroom for 4-6 weeks. I turn over each jar every day or two so that the ingredients can dance together. This process allows the sun to gently warm the honey in order to extract the beneficial properties of the herbs and to marry the delicious flavors. Then I gently heat the honey in a double-boiler so that I can strain out the herbs. You may find very small particles of herbs left in the honey -- this is because I don't heat the honey too high nor do I strain it incredibly fine so as to not lose any benefits of the raw honey.
