    "content_text": "Iced, tulsi turns into something quite unusual: a savoury, herby cooler that drinks like a grown-up basil lemonade. Brew it strong, chill it, then serve over ice with plenty of lemon and a few fresh basil leaves. Far more interesting than a standard iced tea, and still caffeine-free.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
