This tea is sweet, nourishing and delicious. It is a combination of fresh maple water (aka sap) and Holy Basil.
Maple sap may increase alcohol metabolizing enzymes in the liver, therefore clearing toxic juice from your body. Maple sap is also packed full of electrolytes to rehydrate your suffering brain. Lots of antioxidant firepower too!
Tulsi is a much venerated herb that offers deeply restorative, adaptogenic and yin-nourishing qualities. A sultry tonic!
Combine the two, and it can resurrect you, if you’ve over-indulged on St. Paddy’s day.
