Tulsi and honey morning spoon with three fresh leaves
Three fresh tulsi leaves crushed with a little honey make a morning spoon in many homes. No honey for babies under one year. This is supportive and not a substitute for a doctor.
A morning spoon of tulsi and honey
Tulsi is the courtyard plant people pluck by the leaf, not by the bunch. Crushed with a little honey, three leaves are a small morning habit, not a jar of syrup.
Honey is food for older people only. No honey for babies under one year. The spoon may sit beside breakfast, and it is not a substitute for a doctor.
Ingredients
- 3 fresh tulsi leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- A clean spoon
How to prepare
- Rinse the tulsi leaves and pat them dry.
- Crush the leaves and stir them into the honey on the spoon.
How to use
- Take the spoon in the morning, with or just after breakfast.
- Use fresh leaves each day. Do not store crushed leaves in honey for the week.
- Keep it to this small amount as a supportive habit.
Helpful habits
- If the leaves are dusty, a quick rinse matters more than a large handful.
- Holy basil from a clean home plant or a trusted bunch is enough. There is no need for a sweet drink.
Precautions
- No honey for babies under one year.
- Skip honey if it does not suit you, and ask a doctor before giving it to young children.
- This is supportive only and not a substitute for a doctor.
