Lemon basil makes delicious tea

Fresh leaves steeped in boiling water for 15 mins to 1 hour. Strain then enjoy
Adding dry Jamaica will make it amazing. Not all Jamaica is created equal I found this brand to be best

Easy to grow indoors and very fragrant

I have used this in pasta and for pesto and both turned out amazing! It's very lemony, and grows well in my kitchen Aerogarden (in pic on the right next to dwark Greek basil, also from MI). I have had such high germination rates with all MI seeds that I often end up with more seedlings than number of seeds I thought I sowed! I generally sow 25% more seeds than my needed quantity to account for duds, but my confidence in MI is pretty high now, that next year I may only do 10% over. Thank you MIgardener team!

A fun twist!

I bought these for my kids’ gardens. They loved the glowing yellow leaves, lemony aroma, and thought they tasted good in infused water. They didn’t get very big, which is a plus if growing in containers.

Loved it!

I mainly grew this as a filler for bouquets and it was my favorite filler this year! It smelled sooo good and looked beautiful with my cut flowers. I am planning on growing at least twice as much next season as I did this year because it did so well.
