Tulsi, or holy basil, adds an earthy herbal note that pairs naturally with green tea. It is the kind of drink that feels restorative without trying too hard.

How to make it:
Boil water, add a few tulsi leaves and let them simmer briefly. Remove from heat, then steep the green tea for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain and drink warm. If you like, add a tiny bit of lemon for brightness. This version is especially pleasant in the evening when you want something calming.
