We grow lots of basil and use the leaves and/or flowers to make basil iced tea. Just take some fresh leaves or flowers and steep in pitcher. Add a little honey or agave. Remove leaves, add additional water and chill. It is a very refreshing, non caffeine tea. Sounds crazy to some but basil iced tea is just what this Texan needs to beat the heat.
