Thanks for another great video! I had 1 Tulsi plant pop up, I will be planting more. I'm going to check out the shrub video. Shrubs are my favorite thing to make now. I just started a blueberry shrub. I have a strawberry shrub that is almost ready. I've never made an herb shrub so Tulsa will be my first. Please take care!

Loved this video! On an unrelated note is there any chance you can do a video on herbal dental care??? Something I’ve been pondering often! Much love and appreciation!

For the infused honey do you use fresh or dry tulsi?
