Tulsi

A tier

Tulsi is the Sanskrit/Hindi name for holy basil, encompassing Rama, Krishna, and Vana types used in Ayurveda, daily worship, and herbal teas more than Italian pesto. Brew as tea; use sparingly in savoury fusion. Peppery-clove aroma differs wholly from Genovese. Indian groceries may sell fresh or dried tulsi.
