I received a recipe for basil tea and now that I bought a large amount of basil, I can't find it.  I think it had basil, black tea leaves, lemon juice, maple syrup but I can't remember amounts or even if those were the ingredients.  Does someone have a good recipe before my basil goes bad?  Thanks in advance.

If you can't find a recipe just make pesto lol.

Probably will @rockygems123 . Holding out hope someone has the recipe. If not tomorrow will be pesto.

I just tried typing Basil Tea Recipe in Google....lots of info, pictures and recipes.

@jlkz Thank you, I did also google but just wasn't what I was looking for.  I may have made it up in my mind but black tea was in what I was looking for and they have different ingredients.

Hope you find your recipe.  You've inspired me to make some pesto

Made pesto with my basil.  Will keep looking for the basil tea recipe.  Thanks to all that replied.

@m0rgan - I have a good one for iced tea:

Blackberry Basil Iced Tea

2-3 tea bags (black, green, or decaf) (I used black.) 

1/4 cup fresh or frozen blackberries 

6-8 fresh basil leaves, cut into small pieces 

2 cups boiling water 

lemonade or honey to sweeten to taste 

Mash the blackberries some. Put tea bags, blackberries, and basil in a teapot. Pour boiling water over and let steep for 5 minutes. Pour and strain into ice-filled pitcher. Sweeten as desired.
