Going on pasta tonight and topping a soup tomorrow: HOLY BASIL PESTO. Holy Basil (Aka Tulsi) is an adaptogenic herb that can reduce cortisol levels and help with anxiety and hormone imbalance, among other things. It is widely regarded as one of the most useful broad-spectrum anti-stress adaptogenic herbs. It does beautifully in culinary uses - which is why you see it in so many teas. Made a fresh basil / lemon / garlic / pine nut pesto and simply added 3 tsp dried holy basil to it while in the food processor to level it up. 🌱🌱

Front and center. It’s where I like to keep the herbs. I could put them into the pantry I guess but they’re so pretty - and I find I use them more when they are out and I see them each day. It’s like vitamins - they need to be within arm’s reach or it’s not happening. (Is that just me?) They are a reminder to eat with intention, create new things, and always get back on track when things fall away. Currently on the shelf// Dried ginger, wild rose, lavender, goji berries, lemon balm, chamomile flowers, dried astragalus, rehmannia. 💫.

Think that’s coffee in my cup? Think again! I was so happy to hear of this company @rasakoffee who makes what they call “an adaptogenic coffee alternative”. I’m the kind who loves the taste and smell of coffee but cannot drink it without paying a price. Thankfully, I love tea as well. I often infuse my hot teas with herbs/ oils/ superfoods but Rasa Koffee does that for you. Guys, this is like going to the Chinese bulk herb pharm & having it ground for you and ready to brew in a French press! It’s full of super powered balancing and energy boosting herbs like rhodiola, ginseng, codonopsis, and he shou wu. If you’ve tasted Chinese herbs before you will think it tastes great - but if you’ve never tasted bulk herbs decocted in water you will think it tastes off at first. But simply add some steamed milk of choice, a little maple or honey and that off becomes an ON pretty fast. So grateful for products like these - helping us all stay healthy with convenience and ease ❤️.
