For those of you who don’t already know Rebecca, she loves connecting people: to the earth, to plants, to each other, and to themselves. The underlying purpose behind all of her work is to help people remember the feeling of living in alignment with who they truly are, and the larger flow of the universe. She has an online school, called Wonder Botanica, where she teaches people how to connect to the earth, the heart path, and the universe; and works with clients individually to connect them to their own inner guidance.
Rebecca lives in the mountains of Southern California, with her dog, and about a million oak trees. Despite so many reasons not to be, she remains steadfastly hopeful about human beings and this incredible planet.
I’m so excited to share our conversation with you today!

I love Tulsi. I am growing it all year long in South Florida. It grows so easily! I love to make pesto or just tea. I think it is great just by itself. I agree that when you spend time with a plant it is more efficient. I also use it instead of basil in cooking❤
-
I love a 1 to 1 blend of Tulsi and green tea. I use 2 tsp. herb to 12 oz hot water, steeped for 4 min. I add a tad of honey and a vey little bit of cream. It is one of my favorite.
-
Informative, joyful🌱 Tulsi has been growing in my garden and in my kitchen for a while now. I’m pretty sure tulsi in my kitchen was listening 😊
-
Regarding the oops Rosalee mentioned regarding the accidental mixture of tulsi and, I think, black tea, I believe many great recipes come from kitchen "mistakes". I've thought about that with many recipes, the thought being "who would've thought about mixing these things together?" But, they turn out great!
-
I can see why you are good friends. Great interview. Thank you. ❤
-
We are using in it place of tarragon in chicken recipes!! And making tulsi lemon aid at dinner for everyone to just slow their wiggly brains down!
-
Just picked 7 quarts of dewberries (wild blackberries). I am so excited to try the blackberry/tulsi syrup. Just got wait for my tulsi to grow.
-
More info on types would be great. Theres the purple "Krishna" one and 2 green types i think they all have different properties. I have a yard full of 2mtr high Tulsi i think its called Vana or garden Tulsi it has a strong kind of clove smell.
-
Rosalie, you and Rebecca definitely made this such an interesting topic to hear! Question: what kind of Tulsi do I buy to grow for the recipes you're talking about? I grow lemon balm and thyme in my garden and enjoy using them in recipes and my favorite is lemon balm iced tea with a little honey!🍯

Beautiful! ❤
-
So, can we have the chickweed grilled cheese sandwich recipe? 🤔 😋
-
Loved! Especially all the recipes. Those are awesome and I appreciated the inspiration for using my herbs. Can you use dried tulsi for all those recipes or only fresh? Also whenever I try drinking tulsi tea it feels too rich for my stomach and I have a hard time drinking very much. Any ideas why?
-
Can I use dried herbs to create these food recipes. Example a nettel pesto from dried leaves?
-
Is it true it has a blood thinning effect? Been using it as an adaptogen and couldnt figure out why I was having bruising and joint pain.
