Tulsi + dried pineapple = Pulsi? Tulsi-apple?
Wonderful in theory; needs a little work on execution. Two large pieces of the pineapple I used in a tea-for-one pot weren’t quite strong enough to counteract the clovey taste of the tulsi. I could tell it was there, but just barely. (The pineapple wasn’t the typical corn-starch-coated variety that come in commercial trail mixes, which is probably healthier, but didn’t sweeten things up as expected.)
Side note—as a tension-reliever, tulsi is one of the few herbs that I can say actually have a noticeable effect on my perpetually clenched neck muscles.

I’ve been trying to drink more tulsi too. I have a homemade concoction of tulsi, lemon peel and lemongrass, I really enjoy it!
Clenched neck muscles? You just convinced me that I need to try tulsi! Any special kind?
Banana was a weakling up against the tulsi too, but it gave it body, if that makes sense. Picked up dried pineapple yesterday, and want to try it in my chocolate earl, along w. banana and strawberry (banana split?). Your vanilla+banana combo sparked the idea.
@Amy – need to hunt down my sample of lemon myrtle from Upton to try w. tulsi.
Ashmanra, I just get it bulk from the health food store, if you have that option—lots cheaper than branded, I think my last batch was about $1.16 an ounce. It’s very lemony-clovey, and just fine on its own.
I haven’t really tried Tulsi as a tension reliever… I think the next time I feel that tensed up neck I will brew a cup!
