Basil - Cinnamon
In addition to being used in all foods where basil has an impact, Cinnamon basil is delightful as a tea or potpourri. Cinnamon is not just in the name, it is in the aroma and flavor. It is used in Italian foods and pesto and pasta sauces. Place the Basil seeds in well drained soil with lots of organic matter. You can enjoy your summer garden while sipping a cup of cinnamon basil tea. The sweet flavor is excellent combined with other fruity flavored herbs. Basil is used in so many foods, it is hard to mention them all. Fresh basil makes a nice tea, an excellent vinegar, and tastes great fresh with fish.
