Step 1

Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a stock pot or plan to pour it into a heat proof bowl.

Step 2

Once at a boil, turn off the heat and add 1 oz or approximately 1 packed cup of rinsed purple basil to the water.

Step 3

Let steep for 10 minutes. The purple color will slowly fade from the basil leaves and turn the water a shade of blue and the leaves themselves will turn green.

Step 4

Once steeped, remove all the basil leaves using tongs or a strainer.

Step 5

Pour ½ cup honey to the still warm tea, stirring to incorporate. Your blue tinted tea will turn to a gold or pink hued drink.

Step 6

Strain your tea through a fine mesh strainer and/or a cheesecloth to make sure there is no additional dirt or small bugs in your final drink.

Step 7

Chill until ready to serve. Add a sliced lemon or lime for garnish and added flavor.
