Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), also known as holy basil or Indian basil, belongs to the same genus as basil and is a member of the mint family. It is native to tropical and subtropical Asia. The plant is widely believed to have originated in India, where it has long held an esteemed place in the country’s culture. Tulsi also plays an important role in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, where it is commonly enjoyed as a tea on its own or in blends, for example with ginger. Tulsi is known for its highly aromatic, subtly sweet and herbaceous flavour with a gentle peppery note.
