If drinking as tea, for best results, bring filtered water to just under a boil. Place the tea bag or loose tea (one tablespoon per cup) in your tea cup, tea ball, or tea pot and allow it to steep until desired strength.
Some other adaptogens that blend well with Holy Basil are Eleuthero, Ashwagandha, and Astragalus. You can try one or blend them all together.
