Tulsi & Peach Kombucha Mocktail
Tulsi & Peach Kombucha Mocktail
This mocktail is brimming with botanical benefits, featuring adaptogens from Tulsi, as well as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and digestive support from ginger and turmeric. It also includes kombucha, which provides heart-healthy and naturally fresh peaches.
This is simply delicious! A refreshing, summery, grown-up mocktail that is low in sugar and has a lovely in-season herbal vibe. I used Kombucha from Urban Farm Fermentory in Portland, Maine.
Tulsi, also known as holy basil or sacred basil, is native to India and a member of the Lamiaceae family, commonly referred to as the mint family, which comprises many aromatic and medicinal plants. Tulsi is a prominent Ayurvedic herb known for its adaptogenic properties, which help our body adapt to physical, chemical, and emotional stress.
Modern-day science is only just beginning to recognise the many healthful qualities of this beautiful and powerful ancient sacred herb. If you are not familiar with Tulsi, I encourage you to grow it, use it as an everyday herbal medicine and feed the pollinators, too, as they adore this plant!
