Cinnamon Basil

Herb

Cinnamon Basil

B tier

Cinnamon basil smells of cinnamate spices—warm, sweet-spicy leaves for teas, fruit salads, and creative desserts more than savory Italian sauces. Infuse cream or sugar syrups; pair with stone fruit. Savoury use with pork or squash in fusion menus. Distinct chemistry from Thai anise basil.
